'Queer-Owned' | Schwules Museum.

We hear from Birga, Managing Director at Queer-owned Schwules Museum in Berlin.

In this special two-part interview, We Create Space visits the iconic Schwules Museum in Berlin — a cultural institution committed to preserving and celebrating queer history, art, and activism.

We had a chat with Birga Meyer, one of the museum’s managing directors, to explore the role of the museum in today’s queer landscape, its evolving mission, and the importance of making space for LGBTQIA+ stories — past, present, and future.

We diving deep into the museum’s impact, its challenges, and the evolving narratives it helps shape for the LGBTQIA+ community, reflecting on how queer stories are archived, who gets to tell them, and why institutions like Schwules Museum are more vital than ever.
