People's History Museum Manchester

The history of working people in Britain

The People's History Museum is truly unique. A national museum charting the history of the struggle for equality and democracy in the UK, it's perfectly suited to the radical city of Manchester.

Discover the British working class' fight for social justice as you explore the museum's collection, expertly presented and housed within its new home - a beautiful  £12.3m redevelopment beside the River Irwell.

In addition to the galleries and regularly changing exhibitions, the museum houses an education service, Labour History Archive & Study Centre, Textile Conservation Studio, corporate facilities, a café and a shop.

Things for the kids to do at the museum are even more family friendly. With more hands-on stuff in every gallery and regular activities for children, the museum is more family friendly than ever. For children aged 3-6 make sure you pick up a Busy Bee explorer pack, full of fun items to help them discover the museum. Plus you can picnic in the Engine Hall.

The family friendly hands-on activities are for all ages, regular family friendly events, Busy Bee explorer packs for 3-6 year olds, a picnic area in the Engine Hall and baby-changing facilities.
