Exhibits : Traveling Exhibits

The Women's Museum™ is proud to offer the three following traveling exhibits:

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ: WOMEN
Annie Leibovitz: Women is a special exhibition featuring more portraits by the internationally renowned photographer. The exhibition is a celebration of the American woman at the dawn of a new millennium and includes portraits from a broad spectrum of society. Women who are well-known—including Betty Ford, Gloria Steinem, Toni Morrison and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O’Connor—juxtaposed with unknown women whose sole notoriety is their impact on those around them. "I’m very moved by the sense of dignity these women have," says Leibovitz.

The exhibit is drawn from photographs in the book Women, published by Random House in 1999. Women contains more than 100 of Leibovitz's portraits as well as an essay by the novelist and critic Susan Sontag. The images are intended to show "how we look and what we do," says Leibovitz, and create a vivid and complex collective portrait of women today. Exhibit Info

APRON CHRONICLES: A PATCHWORK OF AMERICAN RECOLLECTIONS
Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections is one of the most nostalgic, thought-provoking and generational-friendly exhibitions currently touring. Apron Chronicles is a traveling exhibit comprised of 46 photographs, text in story form and 155 vintage aprons.

Project writer and apron curator EllynAnne Geisel and photographer Kristina Loggia have utilized the apron as a symbol immediately recognized by everyone to create an exhibit that is ultimately much more about life than fabric. With Apron Chronicles as the vehicle, collaborators Geisel and Loggia are providing prompts that will have exhibit visitors recalling their own apron recollections. Crossing generational, racial and socioeconomic boundaries, Apron Chronicles is an exhibit that ties us all together. Exhibit Info
