2019: The Past, Present and Future of Protest
PHM is commemorating the bicentenary of the Peterloo Massacre, a monumental event in Manchester’s history, and a defining moment for Britain’s democracy. Join us throughout 2019 as we explore the past, present and future of protest through a programme of events and exhibitions, kicking off with the new display of banners in the museum’s main galleries.

2019 Banner Display
New year, new display of banners! Our Conservation Team have been busily preparing this year’s new display of banners – revamping a quarter of the museum’s main galleries. 2019’s banner display has been carefully curated to reflect key moments of protest in Greater Manchester and across the UK, representing a mix of creatively disobedient ideas and actions along the road to democratic reform, from the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester in 1819 to today. Visit the new selection of historic and contemporary banners from Saturday 19 January.

Last chance to see Represent! Voices 100 Years On exhibition – ends Sunday 3 February
Don’t miss your chance to see this crowdsourced exhibition reflecting on those who campaigned for better representation in the past; most famously the suffragists and the militant suffragettes. This Family Friendly exhibition questions how far we have really come in 100 years, giving a platform to individuals and communities who are still fighting to make their voices heard today. Listen to our six part podcast series exploring key stories and objects behind each section of the exhibition, with its curator and suffrage expert Helen Antrobus.

On display from Saturday 19 January to Sunday 31 March, Not Home includes a collection of photographic portraits made with people living in unsupported temporary accommodation in Manchester, along with first hand accounts of their experiences.
