'𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐨 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥: 𝐀 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐆𝐁𝐓𝐐+ 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.'
This LGBT History Trail is the culmination of a 3-month long project that has focused on shining a light on the queer histories of objects in the Museum’s collections and permanent displays. Accessibility is paramount as we believe everyone should have access to the past. With this in mind, the Trail can be viewed on your mobile by scanning the QR Codes placed around the Museum or you can pick up a paper copy of the trail at reception. This Trail would not have been possible without the support and funding of Art Fund and South West Museum Development. For more information follow this link: The Michelangelo Trail.
"The LGBTQ+ trail is an excellent resource and a valuable thing for the pupils to do." Steve Smedley, Torquay Girls Grammar School
