The Bonn Women's Museum was founded in 1981, making it one of the first museums in Germany dedicated to women's art and history. The programme combines historical exhibitions — the history of women's work, women in medicine, women and politics — with contemporary art by women artists.
The building, a former factory, fits the ethos of the institution. The rotating programme means there is usually something worth seeing, and the permanent collection includes documentation of women's roles in German society through the 20th century. Open Wednesday to Sunday.
