Women: Past, Present, and Future
The museum presents, from its collections, a tribute to women through the impressions they have left in local arts, sciences, and history. Check out our women's garment collection, which illustrates different fashions that were worn by past local women. This exhibit features a visual theme of artworks created by local women. Then there is also a focus on how women shaped our communities history in addition to playing a crucial role in the sciences.
