Exhibitions

The National Pioneer Women’s Hall of Fame is committed to an exhibition program that recognises and celebrates women’s history in Australia, as well as telling the stories of the Old Alice Springs Gaol.

The National Pioneer Women’s Hall of Fame features three permanent exhibitions commemorating the achievements of Australian women to our history: Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives: First in their Field, Women at the Heart, and What’s Work Worth? We are also responsible for researching and promoting the stories of the Old Alice Springs Gaol and we offer a program of temporary exhibitions.
