About

The institution functions as a documentary archive and cultural hub focused on preserving the memory of Emirati women while promoting their contributions to society through exhibitions and research. It seeks to establish itself as a primary reference for understanding the status and accomplishments of women in the UAE, fostering dialogue between local female creators and global networks.

The Women’s Museum is a cultural and documentary center located in Deira, Dubai, dedicated to documenting the history, heritage, and contemporary life of Emirati women. Housed in the historic Bait Al Banat (Diwan Ousha bint Khalifa Al Suwaidi), it serves as a reference point for the achievements and roles of women across various fields including art, literature, and culture. The museum operates daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and aims to facilitate knowledge exchange with regional and international organizations.
