The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is the first museum in the world solely dedicated to celebrating the achievements of women in the arts. Located in the heart of Washington, DC, NMWA features a collection of over 5,500 works spanning from the 16th century to today, created by more than 1,000 artists including Frida Kahlo, Mary Cassatt, and Alma Thomas.
