Women of Amsterdam - an ode
Do you also find it strange that women are so invisible in the story of Amsterdam? The Amsterdam Museum thinks it is high time to change this with you. Anyone can participate. The form of an ode is free. Write an ode to a woman who has meant something to Amsterdam and enrich the story! We publish all odes on this platform and include them in the collection of the Amsterdam Museum. From the most extraordinary contributions we will make an exhibition, a book and a podcast, among other things!
