Located on the NE coast of Sweden, it was established as a centre for Nordic women’s art during the 1990s by the municipality of Skellefteå. The basis of the collection is work by Anna Nordlander (1843-1879), a professional painter at a time when women were expected to stay at home. She was one of first women to be accepted at the Academy of Art in Stockholm, and also trained in Brussels and Paris. There is also a large donation of women’s art by Stockholm collector Lilian Koch. The museum aims to make the work of women artists visible and accessible and also has archives, a library and holds seminars as well as coordinating the biennial Anna Nordlander Prize for a Nordic woman artist.

This museum is in the process of being established by a non-profit organisation known as Aurora or Association for a Museum of Women’s History, coordinated by Ingela Schanberg, an economic historian at the University of Lund. It is intended that the museum, based in southern Sweden, will be built around one permanent exhibition with temporary exhibitions and seminars on current topics.
