Museum Plantin-Moretus
Women’s business/Businesswomen
13 Sep 2025 – 11 Jan 2026
Address: Vrijdagmarkt 22
2000 Antwerpen
The cliché goes that behind every successful man there is a strong woman. But 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.
