In this exhibit, we bring to life Ancient Girls – showing how their daily lives were similar and different, both from each other and from our modern lives. What you’ll find isn’t in any history book – and may leave you questioning everything you’ve been taught about ancient life.
When you think of surf’s history, do you picture girls as part of it?
Surfing has existed for over 1,500 years and has almost always included girls. It has also been a harbinger of change, opening doors to girls and women worldwide as it spread from its ancient Polynesian roots to the competitive sport it is today.
Journey with us through surf culture — from ancient times to today — to discover the story behind the legend. We’ll look at the challenges faced, the gear, the guts, the glory, and how modern surfer girls are changing our world. Girl Museum presents, Surfer Girl.
