People’s History Museum manchester

Visiting the museum was an eye-opening and enjoyable experience. The executioner's axe was a gruesome exhibit. I enjoyed the film of the FA Cup final in the 1920 's, with the police horses coming onto the pitch to control the massive crowd. One's cafe experience at lunch was very satisfactory. Thank you to all the people involved with The People's History Museum.

You can probably get an idea of what a museum is like when they're begging for money as soon as you walk in the door. I'll give a donation if your museum is any good. They have chosen to define some -isms but not others which is a little odd. All in all, it will pass half an hour while you stand in out I'd the rain. Avoid the gift shop at all costs.

I had a couple of hours to kill before the start of the Manchester International Festival at Cathedral gardens. I was suitable impressed by the People's History Museum. Loads to see about the struggles and protests that gave us the rights and freedoms we have today. Nice coffee and cake too...

Very interesting museum. If you have a bit interest on the political history of britain it would be a good stop for you. Place has a cafe and facilities for children as well. Parking is so very limited just make your own arrangements.

Very interesting museum. with great exhibits and lots of interactive areas. Just work on the cafe please, as it is a little pricy and only seems to have one flavour/filling of the items on sale (e.g sandwich!)

A really interesting and insightful museum to visit and being a free museum was a bonus. I look that they had up to date and topical exhibitions too. Could perhaps be nice to have some more interactive displays as we really enjoyed the parts that were!

Very informative. Loads to learn about the history of the countries laws and democracy with regards to laws and human rights and equality and diversity. Took my 2 teenage lads and they enjoyed it. Especially the 1930s shop at the end

I mean this in the nicest of ways. Be warned, you will need a drink within 10 minutes. This museum perfectly highlights the injustices of our past, and inspires you to want better.

A really informative museum that fills you in on the history of the working class/trade unions/social action movements since the early Victorian era. Start off at the top floor to view exhibitions chronologically. Excellently laid out exhibitions and a good mix of written information and interactive displays (may be a bit heavy for kids but those that I saw there seemed to enjoy themselves!).

A good museum, plenty of great posters and banners. It offers a brilliant overview of the working class struggle in Britain. Would highly recommend.
