The People's History Museum aims to promote the role which democracy has played in society, showcasing a range of permanent and temporary exhibitions held across its main galleries in the Castlefield area. The museum re-opened after extensive development in 2010, with an expanded collection and focus on displaying and preserving key artefacts and documents relating to Britain's social history including women's suffrage, trade unions and general elections - with thousands of photographs and the largest collection of political banners in the world. For anyone who wants to gain an understanding and appreciation of how British working people lived through the ages, the People's History Museum is a truly memorable experience.
