We aim to deliver a queer history talk at least once a week at the National Maritime Museum. 

Talks are written and delivered by our Visitor and Sales Assistants and by members of our Queer History Club.

Each talk lasts around 20 minutes. Please note that talks are subject to change and, as a last resort, cancellation due to staff availability.

Look out for queer history talks at 3.30pm on the following days at the National Maritime Museum:
