Out At CHM

The Chicago History Museum cares for, showcases, and interprets over 22 million authentic pieces of Chicago and U.S. history in its collection. The Museum’s ability to illuminate the past is a reminder of what happened once upon a time, sheds light on the present, and compellingly informs the future.

The Chicago History Museum offers informative and interactive exhibitions and programming including a wide-range of public programs. This includes panel discussions, lectures, walking tours, bus and ‘L’ tours, book signings, and performance events.

The Out at CHM series addresses the long and storied history of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in Chicago. In 2010, the Museum will be entering the seventh year of programming for the series.

Past programs have included topics on sexual politics, transgender activism and gays and lesbians in sports, music, art, and fashion. The Elizabeth Morse Charitable Trust is the presenting sponsor of Out at CHM. Additional support has been provided by The Pauls Foundation. The series is presented in partnership with the Center on Halsted.
