The OutMuseum is the first LGBTQ+ arts and media virtual museum available free to the public. Home to a combination of rotating and permanent exhibits centering themes, identities, and experiences which celebrate and commemorate the queer and trans communities. Through short film collections, panels and roundtables, oral histories, and other multimedia within our exhibits, this space can foster discussions, increase access to art and information, and, most importantly, speak to histories regularly omitted from the record. Because what is history if not storytelling?
