National Museum of Women in the Arts - singular collection focus

The National Museum of Women in the Arts is the only major museum in the world solely dedicated to celebrating women artists and maintains a large permanent collection of work by women across media and periods. Founded in 1981, the museum collects, preserves, and exhibits paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and contemporary installations by women artists. Its specialized focus and off-Mall location make it a concentrated resource that can be missed by general museum-goers.
