People’s History Museum 10 years on
Last night we welcomed over 600 guests to kick off the celebrations of the museum’s 10th birthday as the home of ideas worth fighting for. Friends, supporters, staff and volunteers old and new came together to show their love for PHM, enjoying a democratic disco, performances, party food and birthday cake! The night also saw the launch of PHM’s Impact Report charting the museum’s success over the last decade. The report is included in a new blog by PHM Director Katy Ashton, where she shares why, as the national museum of democracy, PHM’s collections and our work have never been as relevant or resonant as they are today. With pride, excitement and hope, Katy reflects on where we have been, where we are now, and where we go next.

PHM’s ten treasures
PHM is the UK’s only museum entirely dedicated to sharing the stories of the revolutionaries, reformers, workers, voters and citizens who championed, then and now, for change and rallied for rights and equality. We do this by working alongside the communities whose stories the museum tells and through an eclectic and colourful collection that features banners, badges, posters, artwork, cartoons, placards, personal items and more. To mark ten years in its current home, PHM’s team has picked out ten treasures that they believe capture the ethos, spirit and importance of People’s History Museum’s collection.
