An inspiring buzz reigns - as usual - at Salon Arents in March. Throughout the month, Musea Brugge invites guest curators Kim Note (photographer) and Maria Kleopatra (model and DJ) for the arts festival 'Queer Was Here'. With a queer art exhibition and a calendar full of lectures, debates, sessions and parties in and around the salon, we are entering the conversation about the (under)representation of LGBTQ in museums. Neon lights, drag queens and debates at the cutting edge. This is 'Queer Was Here':
