Unstraight Museum

Unstraight Perspectives

Unstraight Perspectives is a cooperation between several museums and other institutions/NGO´s in Sweden and abroad to develop, produce and execute two parallel exhibitions with an unstraight theme. The exhibitions will consist of unstraight artifacts and stories collected by the local museums and institutions/NGO´s. An example of how this could look like is the artifacts and stories found in The Unstraight Museums database. The exhibitions will be the core in a campaign including education and information, like work shops and debates, with the goal to create understanding about the equal rights of all human beings and everyones right to be represented in our common history. The two exhibitions will have the same format and touring in Sweden and internationally simultaneously. No Norm is financed by Postkodlotteriet, Svenska Institutet, Världskulturmuseet, Historiska Museet, Arbetets Museum, Malmö Museer, the Swedish Embassy in Hanoi, UNESCO, iSEE, CSAGA and CCIF.
The Short Story

In 2007 a group of people in Sweden got tired of the fact that most museums neglect to tell the stories of Unstraight people and therefore decided to do something about it by starting the exhibition project Article 1, a collaboration between some of Swedens most prominent museums (The Army Museum, The Nobel Museum, The National Museum of Science and Technology, The National Historical Museum and The Police Museum). From this project sprung the idea of a new museum focused on collective collecting of Unstraight history. (www.unstraight.org, 2015-03-13)
