PHM is the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present, and future.
On this blog we share posts from the PHM team and other experts, with behind the scenes stories, coverage of PHM's exhibitions and events, and highlights from the museum's unique collection.
At PHM we house the world’s largest collection of trade union and political banners. A the team start preparation for our 2025 Banner Exhibition, we look back to a blog in our archives. Conservator, Jenny van Enckevort explains the painstaking work it took to prepare one of our largest for display.
