The ''Schwules Museum *'' (Gay Museum *) is an museum on LGBT life in Berlin, Germany, which opened in 1985. ==History and mission== The impetus for the founding of the ''Schwules Museum *'' was a successful exhibition on gay topics at the Berlin Museum (''Märkisches Museum'') in summer 1984, called ''Eldorado''. It was the first public exposition in Germany of recent research on gay life. In 1985 the organisation ''Verein der Freunde eines Schwulen Museums in Berlin e.V.'' was founded and opened its own museum dedicated exclusively to LGBT topics at Mehringdamm 61 in the district of Kreuzberg.〔(Schwules Museum - Freunde eines Schwulen Museums e.V. ), Bewegung, Organisationen, ''taz.de''.〕 The museum was located above a gay nightclub. From December 2004 to May 2013, the permanent exhibition has been ''Selbstbewusstsein und Beharrlichkeit. 200 Jahre schwule Geschichte'' ("Self-Awareness and Endurance: 200 Years of Gay History"). It depicted the strategies, options and problems of gay people in seeking to live a self-determined life, find others and organise networks in the period from 1790 to 1990. In association with this theme, the social and legal background was presented, such as the anti-gay Paragraph 175 of the German penal code; the associated marginalisation, persecution and criminalisation of homosexuality; as well as the successes of the gay rights movement.〔("Selbstbewusstsein und Beharrlichkeit — 200 Jahre schwule Geschichte: Die ständige Ausstellung des Schwulen Museums" ) at gay-web.de (German).〕 At the moment the permanent exhibition is not displaced, but it is planned to open again in 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schwules Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
