Closed for 2 years, the “National Museum of Women in the Arts“, or NMWA, has reopened.

It is one of many museums in the DC area, but this one is special because it “is the only major museum in the world solely dedicated to recognizing women’s creative contributions.”

Created in 1987,with more “than 4,000 works, NMWA’s wide-ranging collection provides a comprehensive survey of art by women from the 16th century to the present, with new acquisitions added regularly”.
