Women´s Museum Hittisau
Frankfurt kitchen
The FMH Women’s Museum Hittisau received this Frankfurt Kitchen as a gift in 2001. It comes from a social housing block in Frankfurt (DE) that was scheduled for demolition. The Frankfurt Kitchen was restored as part of the exhibition BLITZBLANK. Want to find out more about Frankfurt kitchen?

A women's museum?
SPICK-AND-SPAN
Cleaning is a cultural practice, heavy labour, ritual, a social purpose. Cleaning is an often unloved and time-consuming occupation, still mainly carried out by women*. Who cleans when, how, why and with what? What is dirt? Which view of the world is connected with it? Is cleaning limited to homes? What about role models, role ascriptions, cleaning and cleanness, economy and ecology, sustainability and migration, or religion and spirituality? And the art?

A women's museum?
A women's museum? And one in a rural location? The Frauenmuseum Hittisau in the Bregenzerwald (Austria) shows that both are possible – and have been for over twenty years now. It was the initiative of Elisabeth Stöckler that brought about the founding of the museum in 2000. The Frauenmuseum Hittisau has since shown over forty exhibitions. The focus is on women’s history and culture. Here you can see the exhibition BLITZBLANK.www.frauenmuseum.at/blitzblank
