Description

Museums are not just places where history and art are stored. They are also places where they are interpreted. The FMH deals with topics that concern the history and cultural work of women* in different cultures and eras. With a critical look at the present and the past, it expands historical narratives to include those aspects that have not been researched or have only been researched to a limited extent for a long time.
