The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art provides a platform for artistic exploration through multi-faceted queer perspectives. We embrace the power of the arts to inspire, explore, and foster understanding of the rich diversity of LGBTQ experiences. Created by our founders to preserve LGBTQ identity and build community, the Leslie-Lohman Museum acts as a cultural hub for the LGBTQ community. Our roots trace back to 1969 when Charles Leslie and Fritz Lohman held an exhibit of gay artists for the first time in their SoHo loft. Throughout the 1970s, they continued to collect and exhibit gay artists while supporting the SoHo art community. During the AIDS pandemic of the 1980s, the collection continued to grow as they rescued the work of dying artists from families who, out of shame or ignorance, wanted to destroy it. Located at 26 Wooster Street in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City. Admission is a suggested donation of $10.

A very small museum located in the heart of SoHo, the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art is fully dedicated to LGBTQ+ art. It's a meaningful space, and it is must-see if you are in the area.

I heard someone ask as I was coming in, "do you guys sell any of the art?" And I can understand why, it feels very much like a gallery, in a good way. About half the art is multimedia and it's...

It's small and I appreciate the gallery vibe. I also like the laid back attitude. The docent was friendly and attentive. I didn't feel pounced on or made to feel like I was being watched. The...
