Abstract

Some museums in Bandung display the history of Bandung, but the role of women in the history was never been represented, particularly in visual art. Many women artists in Bandung have had a large contribution to the visual art development, and some even had national and international reputation. This research assessed (i) history recording system of government institutions and non-government institutions in Bandung; (ii) history of women artists in Bandung; (iii) utilizing women artist museum as a women creative place in Bandung. This research concludes that no museum in Bandung has focused on archiving women artist. The government and the society should have an awareness to build a museum that represented women and their role in Bandung history, particularly in visual art. A mechanism should be set up to ease everyone in the city to conserve visual art history data, especially on women artists in Bandung.
