WE ARE MANY is an exhibition of the Icelandic Museum of Women's History, held to mark the museum's 50th anniversary and will open at 3 p.m. on Friday, October 17.

The Women's History Museum was founded on January 1, 1975, in the home of its first director, Anna Sigurðardóttir, in her apartment building near Hjarðarhagi. The museum's founding was the first Icelandic event during the United Nations International Women's Year, and 2025 has also been designated Women's Year.

The aim of the Women's History Museum is to collect, record and preserve sources on women's history and to promote research on women's history. The museum's activities are based on the conviction that the life of the housewife who boils fish in a pot is as integral a part of history as the politician who steps into the Althingi. Since 1996, the Women's History Museum has operated within the National Library of Iceland, which was Anna Sigurðardóttir's dream from the beginning – after all, women's history is part of national history.
