03.03.2025

On International Women’s Day the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin is focusing on women artists, historically significant women and feminist perspectives on art and culture. Multiple museums are hosting a varied programme of workshops, exhibition talks and curator’s tours.

Varied programme at multiple venues:

On Berlin’s Museumsinsel (Museum Island), at the Kulturforum, in Charlottenburg, at Hamburger Bahnhof, and in Dahlem, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin opens up perspectives on women and womanhood in art and culture with a view to the past, present and future.

  • The programme on Museum Island in Berlin focuses on women artists, including Paula Modersohn-Becker and Camille Claudel, at the Alte Nationalgalerie; on mythological female figures such as Medusa and Aphrodite at the Altes Museum; and examines the role of women in archaeology at the Neues Museum.
  • At the Kulturforum, the Gemäldegalerie (Old Master Paintings) and Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings) offer new perspectives on womanhood in art history in workshops and exhibition tours. At the Museum für Fotografie (Museum of Photography), the Sammlung Fotografie der Kunstbibliothek (Art Library Photographic Collection) highlights women artists in the exhibition FOTOGAGA: Max Ernst and Photography.
  • At Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, contemporary art is viewed from a queer-feminist perspective, accompanied by a workshop on women’s self-empowerment.
  • At the Museum Europäischer Kulturen (MEK, Museum of European Cultures) in Dahlem, old myths surrounding menstruation are dispelled in the Flow exhibition.
