The Design
The temporary exhibitions at the Istanbul Women's Museum cover subjects and themes comprising the memories of the women of Istanbul. Except from its own temporary exhibitions Women's Museum Istanbul also cooperates with higher education institutions with the aim of turning academic studies on the history of Istanbul city and its women into an exhibition. This collaboration aims to bring practical functionality to the theory-based work on the history of women in the city, to enable research data to be shared with the broader community and to encourage further research.
The Istanbul Women's Museum encourages departments of Social Science and departments of Design to create interdisciplinary projects around themes pertaining to the memories of Istanbul's women. The museum also provides space for such initiatives.
The Women's Museum Istanbul loans its (pysical) temporary exhibits to interested groups and institutions in Turkey and abroad.
