In the organizer's words:
women's museum wiesbaden 1984 to today
On November 7, 1984, the frauen museum wiesbaden opened with the exhibition LEBEN IN BEWEGUNG (LIFE IN MOTION), which took a look at the everyday lives of women over several generations and thus made history. Many hundreds of exhibitions followed and with them an extraordinary collection.
The fmw was a pioneer and taboo-breaker in many areas, be it on topics such as breast cancer, menstruation, care work or women's soccer. Previously unknown Wiesbaden city history was discovered and renowned artists were presented, and many of the issues raised are still virulent today.
The collection questions traditional museum holdings and expands them to include exhibits that focus on women in the history of culture, art and the city. At the heart of the museum is the archaeological collection, the foundations of which were laid in the early years: With the exhibition STEINZEITEN - FRAUENZEITEN from 1986 and the subsequent exhibition DIE SPRACHE DER GÖTTIN on representations of goddesses and women since the Palaeolithic Age in 1993, the fmw gained international renown.
The exhibition FASCINATING - COURAGEOUS - EFFECTIVE now presents 40 objects from 40 years of collecting - from remarkable and groundbreaking to surprising and bizarre. The exhibits shed light on exhibitions and projects as well as on the basic research that the museum conducts with regard to the past, present and future. In this way, they also provide an insight into the history(ies) of the frauen museum wiesbaden. Over the course of the exhibition, a changing "exhibition in motion" will be created.
