Museu Fora do Armário: Queer Lisbon Guided Tours

Museu Fora do Armário offers guided tours that provide a queer perspective on the collections of Portuguese museums. Led by André Murraças, the tour "Uma outra Lisboa – De sodomitas a queers" presents an alternative interpretation of artifacts, documents, and artworks from the permanent collection of the Museu de Lisboa – Palácio Pimenta, revealing Lisbon's queer history.

The term "queer," now used by non-heterosexual individuals to describe their sexuality and gender identity, originally meant something strange or peculiar and was often used pejoratively. The tour boldly maps a Lisbon of friends, sodomites, fanchonos, criminals, transvestites, and queers, offering a unique and insightful experience for visitors interested in LGBTQ+ history and culture.
