You're standing outside the Schwules Museum at Lützowstraße 73, in Berlin's Tiergarten district. Schwul is German for gay, so the name says it all. This is a museum about LGBTQ+ history and culture. And not just any museum. When it opened in 1985, it was the first museum in the world dedicated to gay history.
