Laying a Rainbow Foundation for the Future

— Building the world’s first Chinese-language queer museum, starting with our names

The world’s first Chinese-language queer museum and archive will officially open in San Francisco’s Chinatown in 2026. It is not merely a museum, but a journey through the memories, art and creativity of Chinese-speaking LGBTQ communities. OUT Museum belongs not only to the past, but also to those who are building it today.

We invite you to become one of our 2026 Founding Members (Founding Membership is available only in 2026). Every contribution is the beginning of future culture; every name is a rainbow cornerstone of the museum.

You Will Receive

  • Rainbow Tribute: The names of 2026 Founding Members will be engraved on a specially crafted “Rainbow Foundation Installation,” becoming part of this cultural landmark.

  • 2026 Founding Commemorative Gift: During the opening period, you will receive an exclusive “Pioneering Commemorative Gift” in gratitude for supporting the museum’s first steps.

  • Two-Year Membership: Priority access to members-only events and curator-led tours, plus advance notice of and invitations to exhibitions and events.
