The OutMuseum : the first LGBTQ+ arts and media virtual museum of its kind

 

The OutMuseum is the first LGBTQ+ arts and media virtual museum of its kind 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 we serve as an organization, the OutMuseum places the telling of our past, present, and future into the hands of those who have lived this past, are surviving its present and will be imagining a thriving future for it. Through short film collections, panels and roundtables, oral histories, and other multimedia within our slate of exhibits, this space offers the ability to foster discussions, increase access to art and information, and, most importantly, speak to histories that are regularly omitted from the record. Because what is history, if not storytelling?

Run by OUTFEST  L.A’s excellent Queer Film Fest that was first established in 1982 and who certainly now more than a thing a too about films for and by our community .

 

Check out

Positive Impact

As Outfest moves into its 40th year, we wish to acknowledge another significant 40th anniversary for LGBTQ+ individuals around the globe: the 40th Anniversary of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This exhibit commemorates the resilience and humanity of our community throughout the HIV/AIDS epidemic, told both through the people who have been affected directly by the virus and the stories that have been crafted around it.

 

 

Permanent Collections

Enjoy unique collections curated by Outfest’s programming team like titles from the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project including restorations of groundbreaking documentary work from Pat Rocco and Pam Walton, and a library of short films created by filmmakers in Outset: The Young Filmmakers Project
