Women's Museum

A tribute to women's struggle, wisdom, and strength throughout history

AREA

What Makes It Special?

It is the first museum in Mexico dedicated to highlighting the role of women throughout history. Its exhibits explore topics such as the pre-Hispanic worldview, participation in social movements, education, science, art, and human rights.

Did You Know…?

It is housed in an 18th-century colonial mansion that once served as the headquarters of the Colegio de San Pedro y San Pablo. Its mission is clear: to show how women have quietly—and also vocally—transformed the country’s history.

Don’t Miss

It is not a museum just for women, but for anyone who wants to understand gender struggles from a historical perspective. It frequently hosts lectures, temporary exhibitions, and educational activities with a social focus.
