In 1981 the director, Marianne Pitzen, and a group of interdisciplinary working women founded the first women's museum. At this time there didn't exist any institution worlwide with the same name or comparable aims. Today the women's museum can look back at more than 400 exhibitions. With its extensively accompanying programs it has become an institution which is internationally established.

Since the existence of the women's museum, work from 2500 female artists was shown. Meanwhile a lot of them could establish themselves on the international art market. The women's museum is no static place with solid continuance but a vivid house that renews itself with the wealth of female creativity and variety. Meanwhile approx. 350 members belong to the association FM art, culture, research e.V.
