About the Museum
The GLBT Historical Society Museum, located in the heart of San Francisco’s Castro District, is the first stand-alone museum of LGBTQ history and culture in the United States. It celebrates our vast queer past through dynamic and surprising exhibitions and programming, receiving more than 26,000 visitors per year.
Open since January 2011, the museum showcases the sheer depth and breadth of the GLBT Historical Society’s archives, demonstrates the importance of queer history to the public, and mounts wide-ranging exhibitions with an emphasis on diversity and social justice.
Operating a museum—even a relatively small one—is a costly business. Program partners help keep our museum open, and help us maintain accessibility to all through low ticket prices and discounts for youth, seniors, disabled people, and others.
