LGBT History

LGBT History

 

Imagining a better future means building on the past – the rich and vibrant, but also hidden past

On the 40th anniversary of Stonewall, World Outgames 2009 is launching 2 exhibitions documenting the LGBT past (and present) in Denmark with:

  • The first ever exhibition of the last 200 years of Copenhagen’s gay and lesbian history at The Museum of Copenhagen (Københavns Bymuseum).
  • An exhibition of the photographic archive of the oldest homosexual organisation in the world - Denmark’s National Association of Gays & Lesbians (LBL) founded in 1948.
  • Guided history tours.
  • "Hidden from History" workshops & talks.

The LGBT History theme is an open invitation to historical and global dialogue.

Welcome!
