Beskrivning

In the early 20th century, men looking to meet other men would leave anonymous messages in public toilets around Stockholm. A “handsome, horny gentleman” might suggest meeting at the Royal Dramatic Theatre – with a white slip of paper or a flower in the buttonhole as a way to recognize one another. These urinals also became spaces for sharing experiences and warning others about men who weren’t safe.
Bengt Claudelin, a museum worker at the Hallwyl Palace, spent his free time documenting the graffiti in notebooks. Today, the Hallwyl Museum has digitized the material, and during Pride, guided city walks are held on the theme.
