Rochester Museum & Science Center

The Rochester Museum & Science Center’s new exhibition featuring over 200 Rochester and Haudenosaunee women is open. 

“The Changemakers: Rochester Women Who Changed the World” is a community-curated exhibition that aims to inspire and empower the community to be change-makers by sharing stories of regional innovators just like them.

“The Changemakers” is open in the Riedman Gallery and adjacent spaces on the third floor of the Museum, 567 East Ave., through spring 2021. The exhibition stretches across 7,000 square feet and shares authentic, and lesser-known narratives of women from the Rochester region and sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy who left their mark on history and the world.

“This process has been a learning experience for all RMSC staff involved,” said Kathryn Murano Santos, senior director of collections and exhibitions. “Working with a diverse group of community members brought to light a multitude of perspectives that enriched the exhibit content and ensured that everyone in the community will be able to see themselves in the exhibit.
