Women’s business/Businesswomen

9 generations of stories in publishing house and home
    Saturday 13 September 2025 until Sunday 11 January 2026 from 10:00 to 16:30

In the Plantin-Moretus family, women most definitely stood alongside their husbands, and not behind them. From the 13th of September onward, the museum will uncover 300 years of stories from women in this house. Stories that urgently need to be told. About daughters who corrected proofs from an early age. About maids and ladies. About women who not only climbed the social ladders, but made the ladders too. Men are also welcome.
