Our Women's History Museum & Gallery Tours
We offer a range of Women's History tours inside some of London's Museums & Galleries - read more below!
Since launching in 2018, we have been working hard to show that Women’s history can be found everywhere!
While our three outside walking tours (Westminster, East End and Bloomsbury) will still be able to join all year round, we are now offering three indoor tours including a brand new one for International Women’s Day 2025!
Our three indoor museum tours allow us to showcase more women’s history than ever before!
From the women artists who have their work displayed inside the National Gallery, the depiction of women throughout the Ancient World, to the History of Women who impacted our understanding of the Natural World, past and present, there is a tour for all interests.
Our museum tours last between 2-2.5hrs and a pre booking is required.
In order to offer the best experience we restrict the public museum tours to 10 guests, but can host slightly larger groups in the event of a private tour request.
All the museums we visit are free to enter, but require a pre-booked time ticket.
We will book this for the groups and the guide on the day will have them to show museum and gallery staff.
If you have any other questions please contact us on [email protected] and we will get back to you within 24 hours.

Women in the Natural History Museum
Join us to explore the history of women through the objects inside one of London’s most popular museums.
Your tour guide will take you around the museum to objects in the museum related to women in Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greek, West African and India, plus much more!
Throughout the tour you will learn about warriors and icons, visit one of the oldest tablets written by a woman, see statues representing women in history, as well as artefacts found by female archaeologists. Each object you visit will give you an insight into how different cultures in the ancient world worshiped, feared and depicted women.
This tour will last approximately 2 hours, afterwards you are free to keep exploring the museums collection.

A walking Tour celebrating the contributions of women in the history of art.
For centuries History of Art has been studied through the world, achievements and eyes of men. This 2.5 hour Gallery tour aims to change that narrative by taking you through the collection at the National Gallery, highlighting a wide range of themes surrounding women in art.
Discover the art of 17th century Artemisia Gentileschi, who was influenced by the naturalistic style of Caravaggio. Meet Rachel Ruysch, who throughout her career commanded more money for her art than Rembrandt ever did. Learn about the work of impressionist artist Berthe Morisot, who exhibited her art alongside Monet, Degas and Renoir, despite restrictions on her gender.
This tour will start at the red telephone box outside the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery (see Map B below).
