Spacer When is a book a work of art? It might be a handmade sculptural object, or an illustrated manuscript, or even an artist-designed exhibition catalogue. The National Museum of Women in the Arts is a leader in the promotion of artists' books as an art form, contributing to the field through active collecting of artists' books by women, through its Book as Art exhibition series, and through the Library Fellows Program.

The National Museum of Women in the Arts' collection includes more than 800 books and book objects made by women artists from around the world. All artists's books are catalogued in the library's online catalog.
