The Sedgwick Museum is proud to present its new LGBTQ+ tour as part of the University of Cambridge Museums' Bridging Binaries programme.

It is hard to say for certain that a 19th century scientist was queer just from their memoirs. It is difficult to know whether they were in a romantic relationship with the ‘secretary’ they lived with, or were they just that – a secretary?
