"Construction on the American LGBTQ+ Museum (ALM) is nearing completion, according to ALM director of Major Gifts Shaun Newport and New York Historical project manager Roy Moskowitz, who brought Gay City News on a tour of the site on Dec. 2. Set to open in fall 2027, the ALM will be New York City's first museum dedicated to global, national, and local LGBTQ history and culture, and permanently located on the fourth floor of the New York Historical's Tang Wing for Democracy at 170 Central Park West."
"The roughly 5,000-square-foot museum consists of two main gallery spaces, one for rotating exhibits and one for permanent collections. I don't know if you can see in front of you, but it's a fine dust that's being ground, Moskowitz said of the larger gallery space, where workers were grinding the newly laid terrazzo flooring. The second gallery, a 750-square-foot permanent collections space, is U-shaped and accessible via two entrances off a main hallway. This gallery will feature historical artifacts documenting LGBTQ history in America. Final design renderings for ALM's permanent collections may become available in late spring or early summer."
Construction on the American LGBTQ+ Museum has progressed for about a year following a ceremonial groundbreaking that included a donated Stonewall Inn brick. The museum will open in fall 2027 and will be permanently located on the fourth floor of the New York Historical's Tang Wing for Democracy at 170 Central Park West. The roughly 5,000-square-foot facility contains two primary galleries: a larger rotating-exhibit space and a 750-square-foot U-shaped permanent collections gallery accessible via two entrances. Workers are finishing terrazzo flooring and the Tang Wing structurally topped out in April. Final design renderings for the permanent collections are expected in late spring or early summer.
