Building America’s Premier LGBTQ+ Cultural Institution
Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library · Fort Lauderdale, Florida
For over 50 years, Stonewall has done something no other institution has done: preserved the complete story of LGBTQ+ life in America. The art, the activism, the joy, the struggle, the brilliance. All of it. Now, backed by half a century of disciplined, uninterrupted institutional work, we are building their permanent home.
This is one of those rare moments when the opportunity to create something lasting exists right now. 40,000 square feet. The world’s largest LGBTQ+ library. Not a tribute to struggle — a monument to brilliance.
A home that cannot be banned. Cannot be silenced. Cannot be undone.
Square feet of world-class facility
