People’s History Museum has been closed since Thursday 19 March 2020 and the team are now working remotely, exploring new ways of inspiring people with the stories of ideas worth fighting for. This includes rethinking and reshaping our approach to the museum’s headline theme of migration for 2020, which is being co-created with a Community Programme Team made up of people whose lives have been shaped by migration, and features many community-led projects and

exhibitions.

We are certain the challenge of continuing to deliver a programme of activity will bring creative solutions and we are currently exploring alternative ways as a team and with our freelance artists of shining a light on stories of migration, sharing ideas and engaging in

conversations.

Please do keep in touch and support us how you can; look out for news and updates on this website, sign up to our e-newsletter , subscribe to our blog , share on social media, make a donation if you can, and visit us when we’re

back open again.

PHM IS THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF DEMOCRACY, TELLING THE STORY OF ITS DEVELOPMENT IN BRITAIN: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. The museum provides opportunities for all people to learn about, be inspired by and get involved in ideas worth fighting for; ideas such as equality, social justice, co-operation, and a fair

world for all.

PHM’s year long programme for 2020 explores migration, co-created by a Community Programme Team made up of people whose lives have been shaped by migration. This is PHM’s most ambitious programme ever and takes place during the year in which it also marks its own 10th birthday.
