Our
Exhibits

The National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame currently offers three exhibits.

Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives

The very first women, either in Australia or their State or Territory, in their chosen field of endeavour.

Women at the Heart

Women born here and those who came to the centre of this vast dry continent Australia, and stayed.

What's Work Worth?

How do museums represent women and work?  What do their collections tell us about the work that women (and by implication, men) do? How do museums represent all the recent changes in women’s work which have taken place? Do some objects symbolise women’s work more than others?  Are there “women’s” objects?  If yes, do objects have a gender, or do they help construct gender? Or is gender simply a figment of our socially constructed imaginations?  What is women’s work? How should museums represent it?

International Women's Day Concert - Stories from the Heart

Join us for a concert of women lifting up women, on the grass and under the stars at the National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame in the Old Gaol.
