Current Exhibition:

Economica: Women and the Global Economy

I.M.O.W.'s latest global online exhibition Economica: Women and the Global Economy addresses issues encompassing two prominent cross-currents affecting women around the world today. On the one hand, women are the majority of the world's poor and exploited. On the other hand, women form an increasing percentage of the world's entrepreneurs, business leaders, shoppers and philanthropists. Economica illuminates the range of ways that women interact with money--as earners, consumers, caretakers and decision makers in households, board rooms, halls of government and international financial institutions.

Online Exhibitions:

Women, Power and Politics

The untold stories of women claiming and exercising their power around the world and throughout history come alive in I.M.O.W.'s global online exhibition Women, Power and Politics.

From March 8 to December 31, 2008, Women, Power and Politics unveiled new stories to audiences worldwide in Arabic, English, French and Spanish. Like never before, women and men focused on issues of substance concerning women's political participation. Visit the Women, Power and Politics exhibition to learn, speak and act to transform our world.

Imagining Ourselves

This award-winning exhibition of the International Museum of Women connected young women around the world and inspired them to create positive change in their own lives, their communities, or globally.

Between March 8, 2006 and December 31, 2007, more than a million people participated in Imagining Ourselves. The project included a published anthology, a series of global events, and this dynamic multilingual online exhibition of user-contributed film, photography, music, poetry and personal essays--all in response to the question, "What defines your generation of women?"

Pilot Programs:

The International Museum of Women conducted two pilot programs in conjunction with schools in the San Francisco Bay Area: Oakland School for the Arts and the University of San Francisco. In both cases, students used the Women, Power and Politics exhibition as a resource for facts, stories, videos and audio, and found that the exhibition enhanced their understanding of their course material.

Campaigns:

The International Museum of Women's Women on the Map! allows you to pay tribute to the women who have made a difference in your life. The result will be a powerful visual representation of the vast, change-making impact women have on our world.
