Event | Strike Den!

• Dress up as a Protest Hero from the past or present, take your position on the soapbox and strike a pose for a photo!
• Explore the Reading Corner to discover the stories of protest, courage, and change.
• Get Creative and make your mark by designing your own artwork inspired by some of the protest art you’ll find throughout the museum.

For more ideas, head into the On The Line exhibition, home to our robot Deceptioncon, to find out why people strike.
In our galleries, you can experience the harsh working conditions at the Bryant & May match factory in 1888 by playing the interactive Match Girls’ Strike game.

And don’t forget to pick up your 2026 Banner Bingo sheet from our welcome desk.
