Krakow (PL): HerStory
Highlighting women’s history in the city is not just the task of researchers: Krakow (Poland) illustrates how municipal actors can contribute to this endeavour through their cultural policy. With a population of 790.279, Krakow is known for its long and rich history, dating back to the 17th century. This past is reflected by the numerous monuments and heritage sites that dot the urban landscape.
The Siłaczki (“Strong Women” in Polish) temporary exhibition at the Museum of Krakow and the HerStory walking tours offered by local guides have highlighted the everyday experiences of Krakowian women through history, and the lives of prominent female residents, who had often been overlooked.
