The
purpose
of
the
Museum
of
Women's History:
To
establish
a
museum
for
the
preservation
of
women's
history;
To
provide
for
study
and
research
activities
and
for
the
dissemination
of
information
about
women's
history;
To
facilitate
the
understanding
of
historical
processes
and
events
from
the
perspective
of
women;
To
accept
and
display
artifacts which depict or illustrate the evolution of women's history.
The
Museum
of
Women’s
History
was
founded
in
May
1995
at
Montana
State
University-Billings
by
Dorothy
McLaughlin
with
the
support
of
Chancellor
Ronald
Sexton.
The
Museum's
first
location
was
in
the
basement
of
McMullen
Hall
at
Montana
State
University-Billings.
The
Museum
quickly
outgrew
its
space
at
the
University
and
moved
to
the
present
downtown
Billings
location
where
it
now
has
more
room
for
exhibits,
archives,
and
artifacts.
There
is
also
a research library and Museum office.
The
Museum
is
open
to
everyone
and
the
exhibits
proudly
reflect
the
lives
of
women
everywhere
--
not
just
Montana.
It
is
a
museum
of
all
ages,
for
all
ages.
Exhibits
feature
women
from
all
walks
of
life,
all
professions,
all
ethnic
groups
and
perspectives locally and internationally. Admission is free and donations are gratefully accepted.
