Hi Essex,
Wow, touch subject matter! I'm always excited when museums choose to look at topics like this.
You may be interested in this exhibition on cat-calling: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/moving-art-project-puts-men-on-the-receiving-end-of-catcalling_us_589c7c39e4b04061313bcfad
I believe the Kelvingrove in Glasgow has also tackled gender-based violence, but a couple of years ago or so now.
You may also be interested in the Jack the Ripper Museum, which is subject to constant controversy over its portrayal of Jack the Ripper's victims: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/controversial-jack-the-ripper-museum-ordered-to-remove-almost-all-of-its-signage-a3261406.html
All the best,
Holly

Subject: Powerful exhibition
I have a particular hatred for violence against women which, in an ideal world, all men would share. Seeing as this is not an ideal world the next best thing I can do is write a short blog about a powerful exhibition which I heard about in Kansas.
I'd be interested to hear about similar powerful exhibitions (about conforntational subject matter) if you'd like to leave a comment or two.
