First LGTBIQ Museum in Eastern Europe Opens in Warsaw | Unit | n-ost The QueerMuzeum has opened in Warsaw. It tells of pride, joy and sex, but also of stigmatisation and persecution.

“For me, it’s a dream come true. We still don’t have a civil partnership law in Poland, but we now have a museum. For us – the community – and for everyone, for the whole of society.”
Krzysztof Kliszczyński, director of the newly opened QueerMuzeum in Warsaw: unit.n-ost.org/queermuzeum/
