Museums - N/A, N/A, N/A
The National LGBT Museum is dedicated to sharing the heritage of LGBT people, a story that unites millions of women and men but is rarely represented in mainstream museums. Developed and sustained by the Velvet Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization, the National LGBT Museum will be located in the District of Columbia, where the LGBT story can most effectively reach a national and international audience. With the Museum as a forum, LGBT people can explore their heritage, embrace it, share it, take pride in it, and even question it—in terms of both the past and the future. The Museum recognizes and presents the stories of the LGBT communities as a part of—not apart from—the American experience, where the intersections of diverse cultures, shared by diverse people, define us as individuals and as a nation. The Museum embodies principles that inform its vision and directs its actions. Preservation. Be a steward of a unique part of humanity's history. Scholarship. Serve as a resource center for the study of LGBT history. Cultural Unification. Enable people to pursue mutual goals. Education. Assist teachers and students to explore LGBT heritage. Social Responsibility. Enhance the well being of all human communities. Inclusiveness. Welcome all people to share in the LGBT experience. National Outreach. Reach beyond Washington, DC to engage new audiences. Collaboration. Partner with other institutions. Innovation. Cutting edge interpretive philosophy and exhibit techniques.
