The main gallery presents six evolving displays that currently tell the stories of the Black Lesbian and Gay Centre, Conversion Practices, Justin Fashanu, Women's Liberation Music, Club Kali, and Dora Carrington and Lytton Strachey. To mark the the 2026 Commonwealth Games, we have a special display of medals won at previous events by diver, Tom Daley.

ALL YEAR

WELCOME TO QUEER BRITAIN

An immersive installation and film featuring A Gay Song, which is heralded as the first LGBTQ+ protest song recorded onto vinyl in 1972. Artist Ian Giles reformed the original band to re-record the song more than 50 years after its inception, as a cross generational gesture of thanks and an example of the living legacy of the gay liberation movement in the UK.

23 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER
