Women's Museum "Henriette Bathily"
The Senegalese Women's Museum "Henriette Bathily" has been founded in 1994 as the first African women's museum on the island Gorée across from the famous slave museum: www.webworld.unesco.org/goree/fr/visit.shtml
The museum shows the stages of life
of the Senegalese women in town and country with objects. Besides the regular
museum’s activity, the museum also runs its own craft centre in which
educational and advanced trainings are offered. All around Senegalese and
African woman is made available to the general public in an own media library.
The art gallery of the museum presents the art objects of African artists, and
in the museums shop you will find those art objects for sale among many other
typical craft products. The Senegalese Women's Museum sees itself as a meeting
place and a point of exchange of experiences.
