Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum: First Digital Exhibition Unveiled
The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum in Washington, DC, is debuting its inaugural exhibition, “Becoming Visible: Bringing American Women’s History into Focus” on International Women’s Day. This purely digital show features the stories of five historical women whose contributions have been overlooked in US history. The exhibition delves into the lives of these women through archival images, interviews, and original illustrations, aiming to shed light on their significance. While the exhibition lacks interactive elements, it serves as an introduction to the museum’s mission of addressing the erasure of women in history. The museum curated stories of women from diverse backgrounds to showcase the systemic exclusion of women from historical narratives. “Becoming Visible” offers a thought-provoking look at the untold stories of women throughout history.
