and abortions to slides of paintings by women artists.
There
is a permanent display on women’s history from prehistoric
times to the present day on the 2nd floor while 3 or 4 temporary
exhibitions a year on aspects of women’s history or art are
held on the 1st and 3rd floors. There is a shop and popular café
