Grand Reopening: National Museum of Women in the Arts Unveils Stunning Renovation

The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., is set to reopen on October 21 after a two-year renovation. The museum, founded by Wilhelmina Holladay, aims to correct the historical underrepresentation of women artists. With a collection of 6,000 artworks, the museum has rehung its permanent collection in a new open format that emphasizes the building's architecture. While the museum's social context has changed since its opening in 1987, with women artists gaining more recognition, the museum remains relevant in addressing gender equality in the art world.
