The World’s First Museum Curator-Who Just Happened to Be a Woman
What Woolley found was the work of a much earlier archaeologist, a woman named Ennigaldi-Nanna. However, he was known for many other findings during his time. What did the role of the poet, curator, and land seller mean to the ancient people? Let's see how three women had a hand in the world’s first museum. From the items in it to the way it was organized, to the contracts on which land would be sold, and the items it housed.
“For most of history, anonymous was a woman.”
