Abstract

The history of women and their representation in museums has been kept so far to the sidelines of discussion. Even within the European Union, the issue is mostly addressed in terms of equal rights, but the role of women in the cultural sector, the feminine gaze in the re-reading of history, anthropology, and science through museum exhibitions still remains in the background. If, on the one hand, the “She-Culture” project –dedicated to women’s museums and funded by the Culture 2007-2013 program within the strand related to cultural policies and– it seemed an opening in this sense, the failure to continue the commitment to support similar initiatives leads to the conclusion that Women’s Museums are not perceived as strictly belonging to the cultural domain but rather to the social one.
