The Women’s Museum, DAS Museum, is the first Brazilian museum dedicated to women. Private non-profit museum, with public and social purpose. Founded on February 10, 2022, the museum was born from the desire to recognize the value of women’s art production in Brazil and worldwide. To this end, it aims to be a place of appreciation, dialogue, unity, love, equity, welcome, a culture of peace among women and other segments of society that want to join forces to promote the advancement of adult women, young people and children.
