Schwules Museum

In a former print shop, this nonprofit museum is one of the world's largest and most important institutions for researching, archiving and presenting LGBTIQ culture and history, albeit with a special focus on Berlin and Germany. Its changing exhibits focus on gay icons, artists, gender diversity and historical themes while events like film screenings and discussions keep things dynamic.
