The Unstraight Museum

The Unstraight Museum is a Swedish non-profit LGBTQ+ organization dedicated to collecting and sharing stories from non-normative perspectives. Founded in 2011,^[1] the museum focuses on sharing LGBTQ+ stories through cultural projects and digital storytelling. It operates primarily through online collections and international exhibitions,^[2] aiming to make underrepresented narratives visible in mainstream culture.

History

The museum was established in response to the underrepresentation of LGBTQ+ narratives in traditional museums. It seeks to challenge societal norms by focusing on "unstraight" or non-normative stories.^[3] Founders include Anna Mazetti-Nissen, who has actively promoted the museum's work through public events such as Stockholm Pride.

The museum has collaborated with organizations worldwide to create exhibitions that highlight diverse perspectives, particularly in regions with limited LGBTQ+ representation.^[4]

Exhibitions

Since its founding, the museum has produced over 25 exhibitions in more than 14 countries.^[5] Notable exhibitions include: - **"Unstraight Perspectives"** (2014): Held in collaboration with UNESCO in Hanoi, Vietnam, focusing on LGBTQ+ stories in Southeast Asia.^[6] - **"Pride Through the Years"** (2015): A partnership in Belgrade exploring the history and evolution of Pride celebrations in Eastern Europe.^[7]

These exhibitions aim to foster dialogue and cultural exchange while highlighting the universality of LGBTQ+ experiences across different regions.

Digital Presence

The Unstraight Museum primarily uses its digital platform to reach global audiences. This approach enables the collection and sharing of stories through images and narratives, emphasizing accessibility and inclusivity.^[8] The museum has also adopted virtual exhibitions as a way to expand its reach and engage with international audiences.

Future Plans

The museum has long-term plans to establish a physical space, "The Unstraight House," in Sweden. This venue is envisioned as a cultural hub to facilitate exhibitions, educational programs, and community engagement, furthering the museum's mission of promoting LGBTQ+ visibility.^[9]

Membership

The museum offers membership opportunities to individuals who wish to support its mission. Members contribute to the development of exhibitions and cultural initiatives and can participate in museum-hosted events.^[10]
