Sydney Could Have An LGBT Museum By 2023
A new plan for a queer memorial and museum on Oxford Street is in development.Unlike other major cities such as Melbourne, whose Victorian Pride Centre opened in July this year, Sydney does not yet have a museum that celebrates the history, achievements, and lives of the city’s queer community.“This is a major omission that needs to be rectified,” asserted Qtopia Sydney, the group leading the charge to open a queer museum by WorldPride 2023.Among the possible locations for the museum include the T2 Building and the old Darlinghurst Police Station. Qtopia’s Committee Chair, David Polson stressed that the museum, “has to be in or around Taylor Square. That is really the epicentre of queer life on Oxford Street.
