Leslie–Lohman Museum of Art
Description
Created by its founders to preserve LGBTQ identity and build community, the Leslie–Lohman Museum of Art aspires to reclaim scholarship from a queer perspective, provide a training ground for queer artists and cultural workers, and examine the intersection between art and social justice. The museum is a cultural hub for the LGBTQ communities, and is the world's only dedicated LGBTQ museum that exhibits and preserves art that speaks about the LGBTQ experience. The Leslie-Lohman Museum has over 30,000 objects in its collection, spanning more than three centuries of queer art.
