A Vision for Art and Motherhood
Tampa Bay’s first and only women’s museum – an initiative that highlights m/others and others in the arts, science and herstory. The Museum of Motherhood redefines how we discuss motherhood, viewing it from the perspective of m/others. Through innovative exhibitions and education, MoM examines the ubiquitous nature of reproductive identity, birth, and parenting while exploring the social and psychological factors embedded in these experiences. By amplifying women’s voices and challenging limiting ideologies, MoM fosters a compassionate, inclusive community that uplifts individual stories and celebrates motherhood’s vital role in our cultural narrative.
