Welcome to the American LGBTQ+ Museum!
The time has come to tell the story of LGBTQ+ people—our journey of triumphs, struggles, creativity and resilience—that continues to shape the world.
The American LGBTQ+ Museum is a bold new institution dedicated to preserving, investigating, and celebrating the dynamic histories and cultures of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. Our stories will be told in our own voices—honoring those who came before and empowering those who follow.
Building Pride | American LGBTQ+ Museum Groundbreaking Celebration
On December 3, 2024, the American LGBTQ+ Museum celebrated the start of construction at its new home at The New York Historical with over 450 supporters and a powerful program featuring remarks from activists, artists, and elected officials.
About

Beginning with our incubation at The New York Historical, the Museum will be vibrant and welcoming, both visually and cognitively, for the entire LGBTQ+ community.
