The Women's Museum documents, researches and communicates the lives and work of women throughout history and up to our own time. The museum's field of work includes issues related to gender, gender roles and gender identity.
"Kvinnemuseet" (The Women's Museum) will give the women history back
A few generations ago, women preferred not to take part in life outside the home. This has made women hardly visible in history books and in Norwegian museums.
The museum's collections consist of objects, books, photos and archive material. The museum has a well-stocked library that can be used by the public during the museum's opening hours. The museum's magazines contain a large collection of objects. Much is registered and available at Digitalt museum, and some selected objects can be seen in our permanent museum exhibitions "Play for life", "In all public" and "Din Dagny".
The Women's Museum also has some archival material and has recently begun cautiously registering this in the archive registration program Asta.
Exhibitions and events at the Women's Museum
Here you can experience three floors of information about women's lives and work - both nationally and internationally. In addition, the museum offers a number of events both at the museum and in the surrounding area. Entry ticket to the Women's Museum also gives free entry to the Kongsvinger Museum.
