Hi DayTrip57885215677, thank you for your 5 star review! We're glad you found your trip to PHM, the national museum of democracy, informative and educational.

Hi s0FiA_2016_K, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review; it's always nice to see five stars! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the national museum of democracy. In particular, the fact that it got you thinking long after you had left the building. Here at PHM we really strive to spark people’s curiosity and imagination, creating energy and excitement, eliciting a reaction and giving power to the people. We're always changing our special exhibitions and have an exciting programme of events, talks and sessions so do come back again soon. If you do, the 'what's on' section of the website is a really great place to check before you visit. Thanks again, Callum - Visitor Experience Supervisor

Hi Giovanni T, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! You're right that as the national museum of democracy, we're aptly situated in the city of Manchester; a city known for its radicalism and long industrial history. Using our nationally significant collection, we aim to show how there have always been ideas worth fighting for - namely those of equality, democracy, justice and cooperation. Hopefully you can come back and visit us again one day. If you do, the website is a great place to check out before you visit, in particular the 'what's on' section for an up-to-date list of exhibitions, events and sessions. Oh and if there's anything we can do to add another star to those four stars do please let us know! Many thanks, Callum - Visitor Experience Supervisor

Hi davidmH7619HU, I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed your day at People's History Museum. As the national museum of democracy, we're a great place to get an introduction into how democracy has been shaped over the past two hundred years.

Hello Petrosinella! Thank you for leaving us a review! As the national museum of democracy, our galleries and exhibitions tell the story of fighting for hard won rights throughout Britain's history. We are not affiliated with any one political party or agenda, however we also acknowledge that museums are not neutral spaces and we work to amplify personal stories and to present a range of lived experiences such as those in the Migration programme. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed seeing the wide variety of trade union and other activist banners we have on display. Did you know our collection is the largest of its kind in the world? Hopefully you also got to see the 1821 Tin Plate Workers Society Banner, as it's the world's oldest trade union banner. Our exhibitions, events and sessions are always changing, so if you come back do make sure to check the website prior to your visit for an overview of what's on at the museum. Oh and please let us know if there's anything we can do to get those four stars up to five! Thanks again, Callum - Visitor Experience Supervisor
