The long awaited museum of the GLBT Historical Society has opened in the heart of the Castro at 4187 18th St.
Only one other city in North America boasts a museum solely dedicated to the history of our movement and this sleek, inviting storefront location is bound to become a must-see destination.
The space features a video screen visible 24 hours a day on 18th St. continuously playing historic footage of past events, from Pride parades to public demonstrations and news coverage.
Once inside, visitors may examine rare artifacts, photographs, documents, sound recordings, films and videos in the exhibition that will open an array of unexpected perspectives on the past, ranging from women’s bookstores to queer temples and churches, from bathhouses to battlefields, from early efforts to find hidden histories to highly visible struggles for GLBT civil rights.
