The Rainbow Guide
The Rainbow Guide, a queer guide through The National Museum of Iceland's permanent exhibition, Making of a Nation - Heritage and History in Iceland, will be launched in the fall of 2018, celebrating the 40 year anniversary of the founding of Samtökin ‘78. The project will be introduced at Reykjavik Pride and members of the organizing team will guide guests through the exhibition.
The goal of the project is to distribute information about queer lives in Icelandic history, inform visitors of how ideas and conceptions of sex, gender and sexuality change and take different forms over time, and finally to ask questions, think about what is left unsaid and encourage critical thinking. The Rainbow Guide is organised by Samtökin ‘78 and The National Museum of Iceland. The event is in Icelandic. The guided tour and entry to the museum is free of charge for those that attend. All are welcome.
