Feel at home,

we want to help

We are the first Chilean museum of LGBTQIA+ art and culture legally registered under Resolution SM 546, and the first non-profit platform exclusively dedicated to exhibiting and promoting LGBTQ+ artists from around the world, with a particular focus on the Global South. Our aim is to build equality of access for queer artists in countries where sexual orientation imposes legal or social barriers. By supporting artists, building connections with cultural institutions, and sharing their work, we provide an alternative platform so that a lack of local exhibition spaces is no longer an obstacle to creative development.

Transparency

For The Queer Museum, transparency is an essential part of its public responsibility as a non-profit institution dedicated to supporting, connecting and giving visibility to queer artists, especially those from contexts where artistic circulation may be limited by social, political, legal or economic barriers.

We believe that

queer art changes the world

We firmly believe in the power of art to change the world. As an international LGBTQ+ platform, our commitment extends beyond exhibiting our collection to actively supporting aesthetic experimentation, activism, and research groups to open up new spaces—both in the art world and in people’s minds.
