QUEER BRITAIN is a non-profit that has been working to establish the UK’s first national LGBTQ+ museum, has just announced they getting closer to achieving their goal. They have secured their first physical home in Granary Square, King’s Cross, London, occupying part of a historic building owned by the charity, Art Fund.
Their mission is to create a space that is as exciting as the people, stories and ideas it explores and celebrates. It will be an essential place for all regardless of sexuality or gender identity, to find out about the culture they have been born into, have chosen or seek to understand. It will help complete the Nation’s family tree.
Joseph Galliano director and co-founder, Queer Britain, said, ‘It’s time the UK had an LGBTQ+ museum, for all. And we are delighted to have found our first home in beautiful Granary Square with Art Fund as our first landlord. It’s a prime location, accessible to swathes of the country, and in a part of town with a rich Queer heritage.’
Queer Britain moves in from 24 January 2022 and is working to throw open the doors to the public free of charge in the Spring and will announce further plans shortly.
