The Charlotte Museum Trust collects and preserves artefacts of lesbian culture such as labrys, music, theatre, film, literature, art and other memorabilia from early lesbian life in New Zealand / Aotearoa. Currently we have a collection of 127 lesbian cultural artifacts: Labrys (in bone, glass and silver), domestic ware, lesbian ceramics, 1700 lesbian books and many of the early magazines from both New Zealand and overseas.
The Charlotte Museum is open Thursday to Saturday, 12am to 4pm, at Unit 6, level 2, 58 Surrey Crescent, Grey Lynn.
The Charlotte Museum has received it first bequest, from the Bronwen Dean estate. This has enabled us to install the Bronwen Dean Oral Herstory Listening Post, for listening to our own recordings made by Vita, the Charlotte Museum Lesbian Oral Herstory Recording Group.
