Get our free LGBT trail of the British Museum

LGBT objects at the British Museum

 Our fold-out trail of LGBT objects at the British Museum has just been launched.

It features 21 objects ranging through 4,000 years of history from ancient Babylon and Egypt to the Classical world, Maori and Native American culture, Japan and Western Europe.

You can get a shiny, keepable copy of the trail at First Out, Gay's the WordHackney Museum or the Museum of London - or at the British Museum on Saturday 19th February when copies will be given away at their film day.  Just take the stairs down from the Great Court: there will be a big pile sitting outside the screening room.

Alternatively, you can download a slightly less jazzy, but still effective version of the trail in pdf form at the bottom of this page .

Tell us what you thought

When you've finished with the trail - whether simply by reading it, or by engaging in carnal knowledge of the British Museum - do  come back and tell us what you thought on our survey (which should pop up from this page).  Alternatively, come for a chat on our Facebook page

All your comments will help us as we decide what to do next - and will be read with great interest by the British Museum, whose expertise made this work possible.
