Subject and Association Descriptionhttp://www.istanbulkadinmuzesi.org/en:
"Inclusion" is an ideal as well as an organisational principle for the Women's Museum Istanbul. The museum's work is a contribution to creating an inclusive women's history of the city of Istanbul.
The museum, operating on a voluntary basis is the first museum of its kind to be established in Turkey and was opened on September 25, 2012 as a virtual museum with a website in Turkish, English, German and Italian.
Dedicated to the more than 2600 years of women's history in the city of Istanbul the aim of the museum is to provide a showcase for the history of women in Turkey, a history which was lost, obscured or disowned all too quickly by mainstream opinion, and to share this history as a counterpart to male-dominated historical writing, to create and encourage understanding and dialogue among the generations, genders and among the different cultural and ethnic groups of the city.
