At the Whipple, our collection is brimming with objects that highlight LGBTQ+ histories and themes, showcasing the remarkable contributions of individuals and their stories throughout history. Each tour is uniquely crafted by our specially trained volunteer guides, who bring their own perspectives and creativity to the experience.
We are proud to present our LGBTQ+ tour as part of the University of Cambridge Museums Bridging Binaries programme.
It's hard to say for certain that a 19th century scientist was queer just from their memoirs. It's difficult to know whether they were in a romantic relationship with the ‘secretary’ they lived with, or were they just that – a secretary? In the same era, were the two women who lived together for thirty years really just ‘close friends’? Looking for gender queerness in museum collections can be challenging.

Looking for a cosy space to be creative, unwind and meet new people? Join us at the Fitz for our monthly Crafternoon, your chance to slow down, get creative and draw inspiration from our collection.
In September we'll be going back to basics and experimenting with sketching and mark making, inspired by Dutch art from the 1500s - 1700s and our gallery 15. Get your creative juices flowing and try your hand at different techniques using pencil and charcoal.
Facilitated by experienced artist Cläre Basel - explore connections between artworks and objects from our collection and discover new-found connections between one another.
Creative Connections is for adults aged 65 and over.
