Queremos destacar los valiosos aportes de las mujeres que hacen parte de la colección permanente de nuestro museo en la construcción de un significado más amplio e incluyente sobre las realidades sociales, políticas y estéticas de nuestro siglo.
Hemos establecido un hilo conductor sobre los tres colores primarios, amarillo, azul y rojo que también son los colores de la bandera colombiana para agrupar diversas tendencias, estilos y conceptos que han trabajado las mujeres; el tema no se agota y dejamos abierta la interpretación a nuestra audiencia.
