Guided tour: Et leeft - Women's Health Week
Despite the fact that approximately half the world's population has, will have, or has had a menstrual cycle, menstruation remains a taboo subject. This is why, recently, manifestos, campaigns against period poverty, and the development of new products have proliferated worldwide. In Luxembourg, too, this universal issue is being addressed with increasing frequency, as evidenced by the 2021 petition for menstrual leave and the free distribution of hygiene products in public restrooms. Through museum artifacts, interviews, music, films, and art, the exhibition explores the discourses and debates of recent decades, traces the evolution of menstrual products from the late 19th century to the present day, and gives voice to people who menstruate.
The exhibition was designed by the Museum Europäischer Kulturen (MEK) in Berlin and adapted to the Luxembourg context by the Lëtzebuerg City Museum.
