Elles! Women artists in the collections of the museums of Marseille
6 December 2023 > 27 July 2024
Préau des Accoules – Children’s Museum
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen states that “men are born and remain free and equal in rights”, but what about women, who have neither the right to vote nor to take the floor? In September 1791, Olympe de Gouges drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Women and the Female Citizen with the aim of securing recognition of the equality of men and women. This struggle is still relevant today in Europe and, beyond, throughout the world. This exhibition is a tribute to women.
