West Village New York City LGBTQ Map Poster

Introduction & Winter Museo map collections

Within the walls of Winter Museo, we’ve been hard at work on a delightful blend of geography and artistry fused into our expansive collection of map posters. These are not just maps but stories, told through the intricate lines of streets, boulevards, and alleys. You’ll be happy to hear that our gallery houses plenty of captivating collections. From the vintage allure of Antique Italy City Maps and the modern precision of Blueprint US City Maps to the exotic charm of the Mexican Cartel Style City Maps, each collection adds a distinct voice to our artistic choir. But there’s one chorus that’s been particularly resonating lately, drawing admiration from far and wide: the LGBTQ+ Map Collection. And soon we will dive deeper into it.

But first you might ask, why did we decide on creating all these map collections? Well, in a world eager to share stories and histories, what better way to showcase the vibrant tapestry of each of these communities than through the streets they’ve built? Additionally, Shea, the founder of Winter Museo, travelled over much of the world and always wanted to create something to express his love and appreciation for the regions he visited. Now let’s delve deeper into one particular collection that has both critics and homeowners talking.

Why We Made the LGBTQ Maps Collection

In the vast tapestry of global cities, some places stand out not just for their architecture or historical significance, but for the communities they house. The LGBTQ-friendly cities and neighbourhoods are such bastions of acceptance, celebration, and identity. Our intent behind the LGBTQ maps is straightforward: we wish to give these iconic cities the representation they deserve. By putting them on the canvas, we’re not just highlighting streets but celebrating the stories, parades, pride, and myriad emotions that fill these lanes. Each of these vibrant and colorful maps underscores the significance of places that have given solace, pride, and identity to many.
