KØN - Gender Museum Denmark, formerly Kvindemuseet (Women's Museum), is a history museum in Aarhus, Denmark focused on the cultural history of gender and sexuality in Denmark.[1] KØN was originally founded in 1982 as a women's history museum, and is housed in the former Aarhus City Hall, built in 1857.[2] In 2016, the museum's thematic focus was expanded to encompass issues of gender and sexuality in the broadest sense, and as a result of that, the museum's name was changed to KØN (Gender in English) in 2021.[3]
As of 2012, the museum operated on a budget of DKK 10 million from state, municipal and private funding.[4] There is a café and bakery at KØN.
Activities
In addition to its permanent and temporary exhibitions, KØN provides educational outreach programs.[5] In 2014, the Aarhus municipality approved an annual grant of DKK 500,000 to KØN to teach sex education, gender equality and democracy to schoolchildren.[6]
