This new exhibit coming to MoPop celebrates the history of the LGBTQ rights movement, tracing it back to its historic beginning at Stonewall. The exhibit aims to “explore the cultural transformation that propelled an underground movement into an intrinsic element of who we are as a nation” by featuring cultural touchstones, political battles and artists and activists who have defined the movement. The exhibit opens at MoPop on June 26. Find more information here.
