The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art is the world's only dedicated museum showcasing works by LGBTQ artists, originally founded in 1969 by Charles Leslie as an annual exhibition of gay-themed artwork. Since 1987, the museum has been housed within gallery space in Manhattan's SoHo district, foregrounding art scholarship from a queer perspective and showcasing significant exhibitions of works by gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and other queer artists. More than 24,000 works are held in the museum's permanent collection, which strives to serve as a platform for queer artists of color and other underrepresented voices in the LGBTQ community. Visitors should note that while the museum is free to enter, a suggested donation of $9 USD is strongly recommended for adult visitors. As some works may contain explicit sexual themes, visitor discretion is advised.
