The Museum of Transology (MoT) is a collection of objects and community archive[1] representing the lives of transgender, non-binary and intersex people, curated by its founder E-J Scott. It is one of the first known collections of transgender artifacts,[2] and as of 2019, it was the world’s largest collection of material culture relating to transgender lives.[3] It has appeared in exhibitions and holdings at the London College of Fashion, Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, the Bishopsgate Institute, the Whitechapel Gallery, and the Barbican Centre.
