Description

A women's museum? In a rural region? The Hittisau Women's Museum has been demonstrating that both are possible – for 25 years. As Austria's only women's museum, it showcases women's cultural work and women's stories through changing exhibitions. The museum presents one or two exhibitions a year on various themes.
