NMWA 由 Wallace and Wilhelmina Cole Holladay 夫妇创立并于1987年开馆，是全球第一家完全致力于通过艺术彰显女性力量的博物馆。馆藏跨越16世纪至今，囊括了 Lavinia Fontana、Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun、Mary Cassatt、Frida Kahlo 与 Jaune Quick-to-See Smith 等名家的杰作，以及一千余部艺术家手工书（artists' books）。博物馆所在的文艺复兴复兴风格建筑曾是一处 Masonic Temple，由建筑师 Waddy B. Wood 设计；在被改造为艺术殿堂之前，这里曾作为电影院运营长达四十年。历经耗资6750万美元的全面整修，博物馆拓展了展厅空间并增设学习中心，于2023年10月盛大重新开放。
