ABSTRACT The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, holds countless European Old Master paintings, some of which can be interpreted to reference queer themes. But working there as an educator, I noticed there was a lack of LGBTIQ+ outreach. Since I held the academic skills to develop queer-themed guided tours and because I also performed as a drag queen in my free time, I decided to combine both activities and offered guided tours in drag. The tours became an immense success with visitors, as evidenced by personal feedback, participant numbers, and social media engagement. In addition, the project attracted far more positive media coverage than expected. Serious, in-depth analysis of the artworks and their implications about social history remained the project’s core mission throughout. Despite its tremendous success, I retired the program after three years because it required significant personal investment. Still, both the project’s successes and its challenges offer valuable insights about museum outreach strategies in general.

维也纳艺术史博物馆的 LGBTIQ+ 主题教育——变装皇后导览

摘要 奥地利维也纳艺术史博物馆收藏了无数欧洲古典大师的画作，其中一些可以解释为参考酷儿主题。但是作为一名教育工作者在那里工作，我注意到缺乏 LGBTIQ+ 外展。由于我掌握了开发酷儿主题导览游的学术技能，而且我还在空闲时间担任变装皇后表演，因此我决定将这两项活动结合起来，提供变装导览。个人反馈、参与者人数和社交媒体参与度都证明了这些旅行在游客中取得了巨大成功。此外，该项目吸引了比预期更多的积极媒体报道。对艺术作品及其对社会历史的影响的严肃、深入分析始终是该项目的核心使命。尽管取得了巨大的成功，三年后我退出了该计划，因为它需要大量的个人投资。尽管如此，该项目的成功和挑战都提供了关于博物馆外展战略的宝贵见解。
