Throughout history, women have helped shape societies, ideas, art, science, and social change.
With the exhibition Haar Kracht – van Venus tot veroveraar, the Museum van de Vrouw brings together the stories of women who, each in their own way, have made a lasting contribution to the world around them.
From queens and activists to artists, scientists, thinkers, and pioneers, the exhibition shows that influence comes in many forms.
Power, knowledge, creativity, courage, and perseverance are the common threads running through the diverse stories of women who pushed boundaries and created new opportunities. Through portraits, stories, artworks, and historical context, you will discover the impact these women have had and the legacy they left behind.
Together, their life stories paint a rich and multifaceted picture of the influence women have had across many fields. Contemporary artworks also offer a modern perspective on womanhood and the role of women.
