We are delighted to announce our plans for 2018! 2018 will be all about representation, including an exhibition entitled Represent! Voices 100 Years On opening in June. In a year that marks a century since the passing of the Representation of the People Act 1918 - giving all men and some women the vote - the museum will be encouraging people to discuss, discover and reflect upon one of the great milestones for equality, and what representation means to them 100 years on. http://www.phm.org.uk/news/represent-voices-100-years-on/

We would thoroughly recommend watching Labour - The Summer That Changed Everything. It's an interesting insight into the Labour Party, this summer's General Election and politics in general. The documentary also follows one of the People's History Museum's trustees, Lucy Powell MP, and looks back at one of the museum's Radical Heroes, Neil Kinnock and his leadership.
