NMWA 由 Wallace and Wilhelmina Cole Holladay 創立並於 1987 年開幕,是全球首家專注透過藝術彰顯女性地位的博物館。館藏橫跨 16 世紀至今,涵蓋 Lavinia Fontana、Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun、Mary Cassatt、Frida Kahlo 及 Jaune Quick-to-See Smith 等名家之作,並藏有逾千本藝術家手製書。博物館座落於一座由 Waddy B. Wood 設計、文藝復興復興風格的前共濟會會所內;該建築曾有四十年時間作為戲院使用,其後才被搶救保存並轉作藝術空間。耗資 6,750 萬美元的翻新工程擴建了展廳與學習中心,並於 2023 年 10 月重新對外開放。
