If you’re missing out on your favorite ways to celebrate Pride in June, there’s good news. Many museums and attractions are eager to support the LGBT+ community not only during June, but all year round; through their exhibitions, restrooms and full inclusivity in their spaces. These are some of our favorite examples of how entertainment powerhouses and cultural institutions celebrate Pride 365 days a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museums That Celebrate Pride<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As centers of education and outreach, it’s not surprising that many museums around the world celebrate Pride every day of the year and showcase the art, history and sociology of the LGBT+ community in their permanent exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The London Transport Museum<\/a> in Covent Garden has been collecting materials that reflect LGBT+ experiences of transport in London for years. This is part of the museum’s effort to bring new voices into their collection and include the history and narratives that reflect the experiences of different kinds of people in the city. Among the collection on display are banners, posters, photographs and the first-ever rainbow crossing<\/a> in the UK. Additionally, the museum works to preserve the social side of the experiences of people traveling to the city’s parades by public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum of art, design and performance is another London museum with a focus on LGBT+ representation in its permanent collection and employs a working group comprised of museum staff with an interest in using the museum’s collections to explore issues of gender, sexuality and identity. The V&A<\/a> even has its own visitor guide for objects tied to LGBT+ history (or queer individuals associated with them), which are on display year round. Additionally, visitors are invited to explore gender and sexual identities on a special tour that takes place once a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
