Queer Britain Museum Now Open for LGBTQ+ History Month

After being closed for the past few weeks, the galleries at the Queer Britain Museum have been completely revamped for 2026.

The Queer Britain Museum celebrated its reopening with a party attended by notable guests including Rosie Jones, Sacha Coward, Philip Sallon, Peter Tatchell, Angelica Ball, and Andrew Hayden Smith on Tuesday, 3 February 2026.

The museum’s galleries have been reimagined around six themes: Resist!, Club Kids, Queer Creativity, Body and Mind, Live Laugh Love, and The World Around Us.
