Our friends at Manchester Museum had plenty going on in 2020, when Covid-19 meant a postponing of in person celebrations. These can still be found through the following links:

Queer Tales: Myth and Magic is a family friendly digital drag show, co-curated with Cheddar Gorgeous, one of Manchester’s most celebrated drag queens and will include artistic responses to Manchester Museum's collection by an international cast of drag performers.The performance explore both ancient and modern mythologies through a queer eye. The reworking of myths and monsters from marginalised perspectives is not only a reminder that LGBTQ+ people have always existed, it is also a powerful way to challenge patriarchal narratives and to celebrate the queer experience.

At the start of August 2020 Manchester Museum launched Queering Manchester Museum, a programme of digital activities and resources on their mobile site Manchester Museum from Home www.mmfromhome.com/lgbtq-history-month. This includes digital and downloadable activities for families and a digital trail which brings LGBTQ+ voices to some of our most iconic objects as well as some hidden gems.
