“It takes time to grow, and you probably won’t realise it but you are not the same person that walked into this room.” -LGBTQ+ Young Person from The Kite Trust
The Museum is proud to display “It Takes Time to Grow: An LGBTQ+ History of Cambridgeshire” from the Kite Trust. This fantastic touring exhibition has come together from a collection of items from Cambridgeshire’s LGBTQ+ community.
This exhibition tells just a few of the many stories from 50 years of queer history across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. From the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967, through to the expansion of local Pride events across the county in the 202s, join us to explore the growth of the local LGBTQ+ community over the last half century.
See this exhibit on display at the Museum from the 2nd of April to the 12th of May.
