National Railway Museum LGBTQ+ Tour

Journey - LGBTQ+ in Transport are delighted to invite you to this exlcusive tour of the exhibits of the National Railway Museum seen through an LGBTQ+ lens. As part of this, we will listen to some of the clips from the 'People, Pride and Progress' oral history project curated by the NRM to capture the experiences of LGBTQ+ people working in rail.

The itinerary for the afternoon:

• Arrive for event & mingle in Search Engine Research Centre (12:30-13:00)
• Participants split into two groups, one undertaking each of the following activities (13:00-14:30):
• Guided LGBTQIA+ tour
• An audio recorded session where we play a selection of clips from the new oral history collection to the group and discuss as a group how our experiences relate, which would be recorded to go into the archive itself
• Tea & Coffee & Mingle (14:30-15:00)
• Groups are changed over, undertaking the activity they previously did not (15:00-16:30)
• We can then use the space until 17:30 if we need to
