People's History Museum

“Excellent museum featuring social history with a focus on often ignored / mistreated areas of society such as women, trade unions, LGBTQ+, black /!people of colour / minority ethnicities etc. Impressed to see LGBTQ+ information about many historical figures whose relationships have previously been ignored or changed. Museum was easily accessible in my powered wheelchair as there were lifts to all floors and step free access to exhibits. Lovely little shop selling range of social history/ Manchester related items, many by local artists etc.”

“Small but very interesting museum with different ways of presenting its exhibits. In one section, for example, you experience what it was like to package matches in a factory in England in the 1800s. It shows how many pounds you could earn in a day based on your performance, but many different factors reduce your earnings. It was quite interesting. Worth visiting if you have time. 🙂”

“Powerful and inspiring place for teenagers. It brings democracy to life showcasing the struggle for social justice and workers rights in a clear engaging way, encouraging young people to understand equality, their voice, activism, and their role in shaping society. It also promotes pride, inclusively and acceptance. A must visit for young people.”
