The Southern Women's Museum was formerly the Southern Women's Traditional House, established by the Southern Women's History Research Group on April 29, 1985. The members worked hard to mobilize and donate documents, images, artifacts and funds to build a common house - the Southern Women's Traditional House, which later developed into the Southern Women's Museum. In 2024, the Museum was considered and recognized as a Grade I Museum by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
