Explore the development of Britain’s democracy – past\, present and future. \n\nMain Gallery One : “From the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 to the present day\, meet the revolutionaries\, reformers\, workers\, voters\, and citizens who believed in and continue to inspire ideas worth fighting for; ideas such as equality\, social justice\, co-operation\, and a fair world for all.”\nMain Gallery Two : The gallery “looks at politics and protest post 1945. From the foundation of the Welfare State through war and peace\, LGBT+ rights\, green issues\, migration and ending with questions of culture and resistance.”\n2022 Banner Exhibition : “This year’s banners give a unique and distinctive insight into movements such as LGBT+ solidarity with the miners’ strike of 1984-85\, artists campaigning for women’s rights in the early 20th century\, and disabled people’s activism – the theme of our upcoming Nothing About Us Without Us programme.”\nBanner Bingo : “The traditional call for Bingo might be ‘house’\, but this Family Friendly version of the game is all about exploring a ‘museum’. And instead of numbers being called out\, the focus of the quest is the different images featured in banners found throughout the two main galleries and the new 2022 Banner Exhibition.” Your children can collect a small prize at the Info Desk after they’ve finished the bingo.\n\nPeople’s History Museum is also currently running an exhibition and installations related to disabled people’s activism: \n\nNothing About Us Without Us : “This landmark exhibition explores the history of disabled people’s activism and ongoing fight for rights and inclusion.”\nThe Manchester Argonaut : A brand new sculpture by artist Jason Wilsher-Mills\, this “is a positive and authentic depiction of disability and reflects personal stories and experiences.”\nQuiet : This is a “collaborative installation made by deaf young people\, exploring issues of representation and deaf culture.”\n\nImage Source: People’s History Museum \n.fusion-button.button-2 {border-radius:2px;}Book Now (optional)Accessibility:\n\nThe museum has a quiet room by the Info Desk and we will also turn the “Coal Store” meeting room into an extra quiet room.
