The First National LGBTQ+ Museum in the United States

OUR MISSION

A safe, welcoming place that inspires and promotes understanding. Through collecting, we preserve and share the history and culture of the LGBTQ+ community and our significant contributions to society.

WHAT WE DO

The Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library operates on a truly national scale while remaining deeply rooted in its local community. In addition to managing one of America’s premier gay archives and the largest LGBTQ+ library collection globally, Stonewall hosts engaging on-site exhibitions and public programs locally, while simultaneously producing dynamic traveling exhibitions for communities nationwide. Through this dual impact, Stonewall sparks vital conversations—connecting audiences everywhere to a rich tapestry of queer ideas, history, and diverse perspectives. CLICK TO LEARN MORE.
