Queer Revelations

This online exhibition showcases the voices of Museum staff and uncovers some of the queer histories hiding in plain view at Sir John Soane’s Museum. In February 2024, Museum staff were invited to contribute to an evening of discovery hosted by Ms Timberlina, who has been queering museum spaces for the best part of two decades. Each staff member selected objects from the collection which illuminate forgotten stories and queer histories. This online exhibition records the objects and stories showcased at this event. Together, they enrich our understanding of the Museum and its collections and highlights the ways queer people and their stories have been present historically.
