Learn tons of great LGBT history at the Pop-Up Philadelphia exhibit!

The William Way Community Center and The Pop-Up Museum of Queer History have teamed up to give us Pop-Up Philadelphia, a month long exhibition dedicated to the lesser known aspects of queer history.

The exhibition opened April 21st, and will close May 19th, and will be on the ground floor of The William Way Community Center. Pop-Up Philadelphia is featuring a huge variety of exhibits to shed some light on largely unknown histories of queer communities in Philly and all over the globe. Some of the exhibits are:

  • A primary source documentation of the use of drag in Philadelphia Mummers’ Parades dating back to the 1880s
