Museum Exhibit Closing Celebration

After twelve months and thousands of visitors, the first iteration (not the last) of our museum exhibit closed on February 18th, 2024 at the Museum of Natural History in Eugene. Thank you to all who attended and to the many people who made this possible through their work at the Museum.

Enjoy this short video highlighting our closing celebration featuring many guests and speakers Professor Judith Raiskin and Todd J. Braje - Executive Director of the Museum of Natural and Cultural History at the University of Oregon. Video edited by Research Assistant Chrys Sotos with images by G. Chesler and Jack Liu.

Our Storytelling event has been rescheduled!

Join us (today!) March 14th, 2024 at 6pm at the The Museum of Natural and Cultural History with storytellers Sarah Douglas, Lynn Pinckney, and PJ Rees, moderated by Judith Raiskin.

Decades of dynamic LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff made a big impact on the University of Oregon campus and in Eugene. Come hear former and current University of Oregon faculty and students reflect on their efforts to create community and fight discrimination, and how those efforts are reflected in campus life today.

*This event was rescheduled during the January ice storm.
