Kvindemuseet Reviews

A very good special museum that could use a little more space. The gender issue is an eternal question.

The two times I have visited the museum so far I have always gone from there in a satisfied state. The museum does an important job of conveying the history of the sexes. I especially think it has been interesting to see the exhibition: Gender Fairness, where you get an insight into the different views of sex and how women's rights have evolved. It is thought-provoking, such as many types of sex that one can identify with.
Currently there is also an exhibition about the history of sexual education. Something has also happened over the years. Small minus there is that there are fittings in floor height that are a little strenuous to bend down to see.
In the children's exhibition, the little ones can get an understanding of how children have lived many years ago by choosing and following a child's history around the exhibition.
Back in Sep. In 2018 there was an exhibition about the women who won the unofficial World Cup in 1971, in Mexico. It was exciting to get more knowledge about it. As a footballer myself, I wonder that I have not heard of it until a few years ago I accidentally found a documentary about it at DR.
Generally speaking, it is good that there is a mix of display in showcases, video and audio clips as well as opportunities to get involved eg in the form of polls, answer a question and hang up the paper among others' answers etc.

A very impressive Museum! You can get an immersed environment in side, and think about what does gender/sex mean to you since your childhood, and how does the gender equality go so far.

A gem smack in the middle of the city. Interactive expos of different themes. A must visit.

Great museum about the history of feminism and gender. Has a lot of exhibits for kids as well.

Funny and exciting told. Easy to understand and a good morning trip.

Very exciting to see a museum of how women have had it through history. So, man, I actually learned something here :-)

Very nice museum, and very nice building both outside and inside.

The museum deals more with the topic of children and youth
and fashion. The contribution to the emancipation of cleaning women in Denmark is
but very revealing!

This is a very important and dynamic museum which features engaging temporary and permanent exhibits. Worth a visit to learn about Denmark, and about humanity!

Thematically unfortunately unsorted and rather arbitrary. I can not recommend anyone to waste their time here. Even women's rights activists * confirm my assessment - unfortunately

Nice cafe. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Good food.

Women have come a long way, but still lack something

An exciting place that especially school children should visit

I visited the museum because I had the Aarhus card and entry for free. A beautiful building, worth visiting for the building itself.

Museum boring and uninteresting. There was more about children and gender movement than women. Most in Danish. We spent 30 minutes there.

This place is a total rip off!!

A whole floor practically empty and another floor with different stories of women with just pages (A4 size) hanging from the ceiling with all the information. The props used in this floor are bland and fail to enhance the experience. You can go through the whole "museum" in 20 min. tops.

It is a real shame that the concept of a museum about women gets ruined by such a poor and lazy attempt. There is a lot to say about the progress and struggles of women throughout the years and there is so much information our there, but this place just shows a glimpse of it and it is displayed in a way that it is not particularly friendly for the visitor, in some parts it almost appears that no thought was put into the design in terms of user experience.

For comparison, the Viking museum across the street is free and has more content, and the Dem Gamle By costs the same and there is enough content there for at least 3 to 4 hours (If not more)

Unless the place undergoes a radical change they should stop charging an entrance fee or they should just close the museum until they get their act together.

An informative place to get to know AARHUS a bit more

Interesting museum dedicated to women and the struggle for equality

The Women's Museum is a significantly better museum than many of the reviews otherwise give the impression. The women's museum's focus on gender throughout history makes the exhibits both relevant and current - regardless of gender and age. And then the house itself is also beautiful and saturated with history.
What is particularly worth highlighting? The Women's Museum is a rare activist museum - it is clear that the museum is working to promote awareness of gender history and significance today and it is liberating that the museum so clearly articulates its agenda - and reserves the right to try boundaries and also to step someone over your toes. And so it is very sympathetic that the vast majority of material has been translated into English.
Definitely a gem and must-see in Aarhus - high value-for-money.

Interesting place to visit on a rainy day. Most exhibits are in English as well.

Fine but slightly "thin" museum that should have potential for more. Reminds me a little in his exhibition exhibition form, for example, the Workers' Museum in Copenhagen. So traditional and overloaded. . which I personally appreciate. An excellent introduction is given to the woman's long and narrow path to suffrage and influence. . but the subject deserves more than you get here. Small changing theme exhibitions give rise to re-visits. A really fine cafeteria adjacent to the museum is in itself always worth a visit. The museum is housed in the old town hall, whose premises itself also makes a visit a good experience.

It's very good. The exhibition on gender is interactive. In addition there is a joint exhibition with the theater of the city of costumes of the representations.

Nice but difficult to follow in some things if you don't know the language

Looking forward to the new exhibitions. Charming cafe.

At the top of the number of guests under the corona. Messy expressions in the exhibitions. I understood the ideas well, but unfortunately did not think it was well done.

Great experience! Fun museum for everyone. There are several departments there, but maybe not the least need all the info ... ;-)

An interesting museum that deals well with the history of women's movements and current feminist issues. The interactive parts of the exhibition were also very well planned. It was a pleasure.

A physical status. Where did we come from, where are we now, but where do we want to go missing.

Not so exciting. A guide is probably recommended if you want something out of the trip

Very interesting the whole view of women, education, health, their influence in society, art, makes you reflect on the position of women in the world.

Visited the WWII museum underneath the women's museum and it was fun.
They tell the story of occupied Aarhus under the second world war. There is a lot of interesting stories and memorabilia there, I liked the posters, and old satercial newspaper clippings the most. The gun collection was also fun to see.

My friend and I had greater expectations for the museum, we weren't much wiser than we were before and not awakened by zest, female zeal and possible wild feminism. Unfortunately.

Very nice and informative tour. Will definitely come again

Its big but you don't know much about the womens history

Museum worth seeing, lots of interesting information about women and sex education and sexual evolution. Minus is the lack of explanation of the display in a language other than Danish (no English subtitles).

The museum offered interessting presentation of the theme on relatively small area. It's not overcrowded and therefore silent so you can take your time. Recommended. The cafe offers organic beverages and some basics to eat but very relaxing atmosphere and nice service.

Located in the old city hall, they had displays on 4 floors when I visited. Ranging from a history of women's achievements and rights movement to a thought provoking piece about the meaning of gender bending burlesque, the displays got you thinking about how you personally think about gender. It was encouraging to see the progress and also disappointing to see the length of time required. Peter Land's exhibit was funny, odd and eerie. Nice way to end the visit.

Requires special interest in the case to be interesting.

Great museum with creative exhibitions offering interestig, critical and original views on society regarding women, gender inequality and gender roles. I particularly liked the 'gender blender', which offered a deep insight into the history of women's rights and the state of the art of gender equality in Denmark and around the world.

little insight into history. A lot of historical toys but also the topic of women in modern times is taken up

Thoughtful museum, where one must be open to participate in the exhibition to get the whole experience. Definitely worth a visit.

Wonderful place in beautiful surroundings where I got to know more about the history of women.

Fantastic little gem of a museum !!
I really got a ride down memory lane when I went through an exhibition about children in Aarhus and the other exhibitions were just amazingly made !!
It can clearly be recommended to go to the women's museum

As one of the few women-themed museums in the world, it is worth a visit. The place is not very big. Demonstrates Danish women's struggle for various rights (including participation in public office, voting, politics, etc.) and the history of women in this society. For example, Danish women women have the right to vote for more than 100 years, and Denmark is also the first country to publish pornographic magazines.

Interesting exhibitions that, among other things, make the visitor reflect on gender
