Bloomington, Indiana
Indiana University's research institute and gallery on human sexuality, founded 1947
Founded by Alfred Kinsey in 1947 at Indiana University, the Kinsey Institute houses one of the world's most significant collections on human sexuality, gender, and reproduction — spanning over 2,000 years of art, photography, film, and research archives. The gallery rotates exhibitions that explore sexuality through cultural and scientific lenses, and it's the kind of place where you'll spend longer than you planned because the material is genuinely fascinating. For LGBTQ+ visitors, there's something powerful about standing in the institution that helped normalize the scientific study of sexual diversity decades before the rest of the country caught up.
