"The National Museum Of Women In The Arts" ~ One Artist's Journey ~

"What If Women Ruled The World"

We visited the National Museum Of Women In the Arts on Monday, April 24, 2017.

I was just was totally drawn into the art, the history of women in the arts, the beauty of the

magnificent building........the "feel" ....... the "essence".....

me - little Shirley Ann Wood - from a small little historical town in NE Ohio.

I am still in awe................

I am going back ~

The museum is now celebrating it's 30th anniversary; and remains the only major museum in

the world solely dedicated to celebrating the creative contributions of women

artists.  The "NMWA champions women through the arts by collecting, exhibiting,

and creating programs that advocate for equity and shine a light on excellence."

One of the photos in this slideshow is of the grand hall (a portion of it, anyway) where

we had tea and lunch. 

The building was constructed in 1907-08, the Renaissance Revival structure

originally served as a Masonic temple.  In 1983, the museum purchased the building and,

after extensive renovations, opened to the public on April 7, l987 as the National

Museum Of Women In The Arts.

The Museum's collections, which highlights connections between historical

and contemporary works of art.  The galleries delve into topics explored by

women artists through time and around the world.
