Queer Antiquities: a Museum Trail
Thu 1 February 2018 - Wed 28 February 2018
Museum of Classical Archaeology
We don't know what really went on between the sheets in the ancient world - but join us this LGBT History Month for a trail around the diverse histories of sexual identity and identification in Greece and Rome. From Greek love to Roman invective, from imperial toyboys to post-antique titillation: we explore ancient same-sex sexualities and their reception in our atmospheric Cast Gallery.
Pick up a trail from the front desk and find your way around the naked truth of sex in the ancient past.
LGBT History Month takes place every February, and promotes equality and diversity by increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people, their history, lives and experience, as well as raising awareness and advancing education on matters affecting the LGBT+ community.
Cambridgeshire LGBT History Month is organised by the Encompass Network. See the rest of the programme here: https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/sites/default/files/lgbt-history-month-2017-events.pdf.
Cost: Free
