2020: exploring migration
Throughout 2020 we invite you to join the national museum of democracy on a year long journey exploring migration, through a programme of events, exhibitions, learning sessions and collaborations co-created by a Community Programme Team made up of people whose lives have been shaped by migration. The programme kicks off with the new banner exhibition in the museum’s main galleries.

2020 Banner Exhibition
Revamping a quarter of the museum’s main galleries, our Conservation Team have been busily preparing this year’s new exhibition of banners. The 2020 Banner Exhibition has been carefully curated to explore the many challenges and opportunities migration presents. The banners’ diverse images, vivid colours and powerful words give life to campaigns in a unique way, with visitors able to explore the stories they reveal throughout the museum’s galleries. Visit the new selection of historic and contemporary banners from Saturday 25 January.

Don’t miss Disrupt? Peterloo and Protest exhibition – on show until Sun 23 February
Visit Disrupt? Peterloo and Protest, the unmissable exhibition telling the story of Peterloo and highlighting its relevance today, exploring what people are campaigning for 200 years on. Discover the Manchester massacre through original Peterloo artefacts, alongside pieces on display in the exhibition’s Protest Lab that tell more recent stories of protest. Commissioned especially for the exhibition, a short film with some famous faces brings to life the story of Peterloo, protest, and the road to democratic reform.
