Queer History Walks
Join the Whitney for a free walking tours exploring the rich queer history of the Whitney Museum’s neighborhood. These walks bring visitors to select historical sites that once provided a place to find and create queer community. From the Hudson River piers to the neighborhood nightclubs, visitors are invited to consider their connection to the Meatpacking District's changing landscape and the city’s history.
