First ever LGBTQ trail in an American museum now open to the public

PathTrail, an experiential storytelling service that turns local stories, histories and attractions into multimedia trails, has produced its first public project: Out on View: LGBTQ+ Perspectives on the Collection, the first LGBTQ+ trail in an American museum, at Hartford, Connecticut’s Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. In conjunction with the exhibition Be Seen: Portrait Photography Since Stonewall, PathTrail produced the companion audio tour connecting visitors with queer subject matter throughout the museum’s collection. Out on View highlights sixteen works of art from antiquity to today.

Museum visitors and all others can access the mobile tour online any time at http://tap.thewadsworth.org/tap-web-app/#special-tours/tour-934/controller/StopListView .
