What role does gender play in science and technology? The Women's Gallery is dedicated to a history of technology that has been largely shaped by women: they have always been researching, developing and inventing. The exhibition tour is structured around biographies that guide visitors along 14 stations spread throughout the building.
Since 2016, the museum has been highlighting the achievements of these women. An expanded section of the Women's Gallery introduced in autumn 2019 has been dedicated to exploring questions of work, education and training from a gender perspective.
