Women's Museum Istanbul (Turkish: İstanbul Kadın Müzesi), located in Istanbul, Turkey, is an online museum devoted to the role played by women in the city. Launched online in 2012, the museum is Turkey's first-ever and the world's third city museum dedicated to women. The permanent exhibition of the Women's Museum Istanbul presents the biographies of women who chose a different lifestyle than that which was expected in their times. Short texts accompanying the installations in the permanent exhibition illustrate the social, cultural, economic and political dynamics of each life.
