Museu da Diversidade Sexual

The Museu da Diversidade Sexual is an institution located within República Metro Station on the Red Line 3, displaying photographs, artworks, and historical objects related to LGBTQ history. The exhibition spans about 500 square meters and documents personal stories and experiences from different time periods.

The museum was founded in 2012 and became Latin America's first institution dedicated to preserving and documenting the social and political heritage of the LGBTQ community. This establishment marked an important moment for the recognition and visibility of the community.

The museum features rotating exhibitions that explore Brazilian music and carnival celebrations through an LGBTQ perspective. Visitors encounter how these traditions and cultural expressions have shaped the community.

The museum offers free admission and is located at República Metro Station, easily accessible by public transportation. You can also explore several virtual exhibitions online if you cannot visit in person.

During the 2020 pandemic, the museum experienced a major surge in online visitors and became one of the city's most accessed virtual cultural institutions. This experience demonstrated how digitally accessible and meaningful the collection is for people around the world.
