ABSTRACT Beginning in 2014, the LGBTQ Alliance professional network of the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) met to develop and publish a broad set of LGBTQ Welcoming Guidelines for Museums. The authors sought to help museums be more inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer staff and visitors. The Guidelines conform to the most recent established standards of professional practice in museums and touch on all areas of museum work; they may be viewed as part informational reference, part institutional self-assessment tool. The Guidelines were unveiled at the AAM’s 2016 annual meeting, and are now available at no charge online (http://www.aam-us.org/resources/professional-networks/lgbtq). The LGBTQ Alliance encourages readers to use and review the Guidelines and to make observations, critiques and corrections directly to the current chair, Mike Lesperance (mike@thedesignminds.com).

LGBTQ 博物馆欢迎指南：为博物馆领域开发资源

摘要 从 2014 年开始，美国博物馆联盟 (AAM) 的 LGBTQ 联盟专业网络召开会议，制定并发布了一套广泛的 LGBTQ 博物馆欢迎指南。作者试图帮助博物馆更加包容女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和酷儿的工作人员和访客。该指南符合博物馆最新制定的专业实践标准，并涉及博物馆工作的所有领域；它们可以被视为部分信息参考，部分机构自我评估工具。该指南在 AAM 2016 年年会上公布，现在可免费在线获取 (http://www.aam-us.org/resources/professional-networks/lgbtq)。LGBTQ 联盟鼓励读者使用和查看指南并提出意见，
