This affordable quasi catalog for the Museum of Women in the Arts is quite nice despite its small size. It is a nice souvenir, and covers the major pieces and more, including some that were not on display during my visit.

I left a part of my heart in D.C. While there, I visited the National Museum of Women in the Arts and found this little book. I feel like I took the museum home with me. This is a beautiful collection of women’s art through the ages.
