Very nice museum. Different than most museums but in the best way possible. Focused on multiple things. Admission is also free but a donation is preferred

Cute museum. Admission fee is suggested. The work is curated under four themes: erotic, coming out, sexual outlaw and cross gender or something - sorry for my bad memory. Theme is super clear but my fondness for work differs one vs another. Really really small though.

Loved this museum! It’s huge enough to keep one busy. The exhibition halls were spacious, bright, and although it was busy it never really felt packed. I would love to come back again sometime soon!

This hidden gem is definitely worth your time. Showcasing many fine subjects involving the LGBTQ+ community. Stories that deserve to be told. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Its a wonderful place and I look forward to returning to it in the future.

Well worth the visit! Entrance to the exhibits is free. Great showcase of LGBTQ+ artwork. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Will definitely go back!

Small but worth a visit. Currently pay what you can/want for entry. Even though there were only two galleries with art, I found the exhibits interesting and informative.

This museum is a little off the beaten path, but it is well worth finding if you are in town. It doesnt matter if you are straight, gay, bi, trans, etc, you will leave here having learned so much. There are so many human stories that are told with the art in this museum. Next time we are in town, we plan to spend a bit more time here. Love, love, love.

Museum is a two rooms space usually features 2-3 lgbtq artists or exibits. Museum is a must, their showcase that you never gonna see in any other museum. Then a saw respresentation of gendergueer and trans people, I almost cried - I realized I saw someone like me on the wall in museum for the first time.

My friend and I really enjoyed our visit to this museum. Really enjoyed the sex workers exhibit.

Beautiful LGBTQ gallery with thought provoking installations. The gentleman at the door provided excellent customer service

First.. about the museum... it is on a side street.. in the soho.. nicely appointed 2 intimate exhibition areas... a helpful.. i believe volunteer staff on hand with information.. the museum was relatively busy by time we left.. looked like a very mixed group of people.. all seemed very interested in the exhibition. The museum is well kept.. unisex bathrooms.. very clean.. just like the museum.. you should visit!!I liked the exhibition of the lesbian donna gottschalk whose photos display her experiences during the 60 s into the 70 s in America.. not so beautiful if you were gay or lesbian or anything other than straight.. Then there is the performance Artist... Stephen Varble.. very interesting manner of protest.. and obviously.. at least locally.. effective. The era is significant.. and clearly the early era of sexual revolution in America... Loved the outlandish outfits of this unusual fashionista.. kudos.. how wonderful and varied is our human race.. a true scourge with its ugly judgments on its own family.. human... and on the other hand so colorful, creative, and inspiring.. in so many different forms... we only need to learn and respect all... love to you all.. keep bringing all of our part of the human history... told through our eyes.. Thank you

Summary - A small but cute museum dedicated to queer art. Great to kill a few hours. Free admission/by donation.This little museum is super cute! I had a lot of fun checking out different art. While I didnt do this, it seems like there are guided tours. The tour guide seemed pretty knowledgeable and gave more context to the art that wasnt available otherwise.Note: there is a separate project space for local artists a few blocks north. The time I went, the artist was actually there and you could ask questions about the pieces.Also, this museum may have art that involves nudity. If youre not comfortable with that, perhaps double check the exhibit on the website.Id love to come here again.

To my knowledge the museum is the only permanent exhibition space in the US dedicated explicitly to highlighting the works of LGBTQ+ artists. The staff are always pleasant and admission is donation-based (the suggested donation is $10). If you are visiting New York, be sure to visit.

I didnt know there was an LGBTQIA+ museum. Its been here for a long time. The exhibits are good and well explained with descriptions near the art. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

Beautiful art and I love the videos!!

Admission fee is suggested. If you donate more than $10, you can get a lovely postcard. The staff is really nice and helpful and I think it’s a good place to spend a couple of hours if you’re interested in LGBTQ+ arts, history and culture.

Wonderful exhibit. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

The museum is smaller than I expected, but I still spend a solid couple hours browsing it thoroughly. The staff member who was working was really sweet and inviting, and they have a free coat check which is great. I would definitely be interested in returning the next time I am in New York! Tickets are pay-what-you-can, but you get a free postcard if you purchase your ticket for $10+!

For any gay person or any person who appreciates gay people, this is a must-see. Very Charming, very likable waitstaff. And some beautiful gorgeous men! Charles Leslie, the lovely gentleman who began this many years ago, is a prince of a human being

Such a fantastic community staple. Highly recommend!! Always great new pieces being showcased.

Worth a visit and a donation of support

Tiny but beautiful. totally worth the visit.

Fantastic gallery showing LBGTQ art. Well worth a visit. So many talented artists across time.

Really cool exhibt with a diverse range of queer artists over the past 50 years. Staff was very friendly too.

All art is cool. And this place isnt short of that. Great educational experience and certainly cool art

One the most important museum and art spaceOf LGBTQ art of all times And the worldGay history comes aliveBeautifully curatedAll levels and agesGendersGreat family and kids programs

So important and so good.

What a cool little museum! Dropped by here with my partner on a Sunday afternoon - it was pleasantly busy, but not so much that we felt like we were crowded or in someone elses way. They ask for a $10 donation coming in if you can afford it, but they made it very clear that this is optional; they did ask us to take a survey with demographic info and so on as part of the entry as well. If you have an IDNYC card, you can get a membership to the museum that way, although I dont know what benefit that confers.Anyway, when we visited there were a bunch of different exhibitions in a lot of different media - a handful of sculptures (including one I was very moved by involving a ladder and a cage, about the infamous Sylvia Likens case), a bunch of paintings/drawings/sketches, and quite a lot of photography. Each piece had a little plaque placing it in context and explaining who the artist was, which we both (not very well educated about LGBTQ culture) found very useful. We spent probably an hour just wandering through this small museum and considered it time well spent afterwards. We both learned a lot, especially about queer and feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s, about which the museum was running an exhibit.Overall, Id say that if you have any interest in LGBTQ culture or media, or just happen to be in the area and curious, you should make some time to visit :)

I left the Leslie-Lohman Museum inspired, joyous, and thrilled to identify as queer/gay. Their exhibits were breathtaking. At the end of my gazing, I purchased a few books from an awesome selection. Kelso, who helped me with my transaction, was incredibly kind and a joy to talk too. To anyone who is apart of the LGBTQ2+ community, this is a MUST-SEE.

Amazing curation with very thoughtful labels in a very clean space. Small but keeps it intimate. Also they have a lot of free literature up front and staff are super welcoming

Went to see the opening of Male Gaze and it was very interesting, especially the pieces that go beyond the genitals or that find a way to portrait them in less obvious ways.

Kinda small but well curated, its the most welcoming place youll visit in NYC.

Super friendly staff and interesting exhibitions.

Great art works

Brilliant exhibition space with really well curated exhibitions. Theres a table with books and catalogues of past exhibitions for when you just want to sit and browse — a rarity in NYC!

Beautiful collection of LGBT art...unique, inspiring, and humbling.

A unique perspective on queer art in nyc!

Its very small with only two rooms but interesting art. Its suggested admission so you dont feel bad about paying for admission only to see two rooms

Wonderful exhibit for the 50 year anniversary for the stone wall riots

New Yorks best gay art gallery, highly recommended for LGBT visitors. Theres usually a group show going on, and if you do your research you can drop by opening night and meet the artists. The quality of the work ranges all across the scale, but youll definitely see something you love, as well as a bit of nudity or three. (Aunt Margaret should stay outside, unless those rumors about her and her friend Betty are true.)

Art that makes you think!! Insightful and engaging!... would love to see this as a story gallery and museum that showcases past, current, and future artists!!

I had an amazing visit here.

The Leslie-Lohman is an invaluable resource chronicling gay life, history, personalities, artists and art over the centuries. From the closeted artists of centuries past to the most outrageous contemporary talent, the Leslie-Lohman is the repository, the fount of all things art and gay. It embodies both the history and culture of gay people, all under one roof on Wooster St. Do not miss it. There is always some wondrous exhibition under way and there is no other place quite like it.

Important resource for Queer art and artists.

The definitive LGBT art space in New York. They not only show an amazing mix of classic and contemporary LGBT art, but they have terrific community outreach, offering weekly drawing classes and holding art openings that are fun, informative, and perfect for meeting that literate man. As with all galleries, check beforehand to make sure theres a show up before you go.

Not much on display here. I do think that this could really be more involved but it just isnt.

Small but awesome.

Still very young but has potential!

If there was an option for 0 stars I would do it so obscene

Small museum but great exhibitions!

I love this museum. Sophisticated and entirely in tune with all.

Very quiet place and some amazing art

Super museum....open your mind and youll be impressed

There is nothing to see here

So small and only has one photo exhibit room when I visited

Nice museum

Very friendly staff

Just plain sinful

Amazing place for the queer artists to everybody

GOOD

Its closed till mid February

Amazing collections and professional, informative interpretations.
