📖 A journey through women's history

How did women live in Roman Tarraco? What power did medieval countesses exercise? What was daily life like for peasant women, artisans, factory workers, or those who fought for democracy and their rights?

Through the museum's permanent rooms, this tour reveals women's active involvement in shaping society: from family life and caregiving to politics, labor, culture, and social activism. It is an itinerary to reflect on the progress achieved and the challenges that still remain.
