Museums and Exhibitions
The 10,000-square-foot (930 m2), two-story Leather Archives and Museum, based in Chicago, has much information and details on the beginning of the leather subculture.
In addition to activities in Chicago, the LA&M serves the leather world by preserving material from various leather communities, and sends traveling exhibits around the country.
In 2005, Viola Johnson started traveling with The Carter-Johnson Leather Library and telling self promoting stories from her 35 years of personal involvement in the leather subculture.
