about Pride Museum

Pride Museum is an international queer initiative striving to establish a permanent cultural institution in the heart of Brussels. It is conceived as a living, breathing space that reflects the realities of queer experiences—diverse, complex, beautiful, and powerful.

Rooted in the legacy of resistance and resilience, Pride Museum amplifies silenced voices, reclaims erased histories, and unites queer perspectives that transpire borders. Through a distinctly queer gaze, we seek to reclaim history, celebrate culture, and provide a platform for ideas that shape our future.

Queer art is inherently political, and so will be the Pride Museum. With the global rise of authoritarianism and the anti-gender movements, we find it important to dedicate our space for collective responses to the growing threats on fundamental human rights. At Pride Museum, we seek to challenge normative aesthetics and narratives, opening possibilities for alternative ways of being and connecting. It is not intended merely as a museum but rather a movement at the forefront of social change.

For us, the queer experience is not a single story; it is a mosaic of voices and perspectives. From intimate personal journeys to bold, rebellious expressions, from underground movements to the spotlight, the Pride Museum will bring all these stories together.

Pride Museum is envisioned as a vibrant gathering space for artists, curators, activists, scholars, and the wider public. With an unapologetically multidisciplinary approach, the Museum will celebrate the richness of queer stories across a variety of mediums, sparking thought-provoking conversations and inspiring critical reflections.
