The National Museum of Women in the Arts is the only museum in the world dedicated exclusively to recognizing the contributions of women artists. In the spring of 1987, NMWA opened its permanent location with the inaugural exhibition American Women Artists, 1830-1930. One of the country's foremost feminist art historians, Dr. Eleanor Tufts, was curator for the show, a definitive survey of the first century of work produced by America's women artists. To underscore the museum's commitment to increased attention for women in all disciplines, NMWA commissioned Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich to write Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra for an opening concert, performed by two women pianists and the National Symphony Orchestra. The Washington Post music critic applauded the piece, which was inspired by five paintings from NMWA's permanent collection, calling it "a 20th-century Pictures At An Exhibition."
