PHM is the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present, and future.

Textile conservation is an essential role at People’s History Museum (PHM) due to our large collection of banners and other textile objects. The Conservation Studio at PHM is the site of this work to preserve, mend and examine the objects in our collection. Yubi Coates (they/them), Textile Conservation MPhil student at the University of Glasgow, spent their placement in The Conservation Studio, getting hands on with banners and flags. In this blog, they tell us about what they learnt during their placement.
