People's History Museum, Manchester
Left Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3ER, England
The People’s History Museum tells the dramatic story of the British working class’s struggle for democracy and social justice - told at the only national museum in Manchester, the radical city where it belongs.
The museum is currently closed for a £12.5m redevelopment,
including the refurbishment of the existing Pump House and the construction of a four storey extension alongside it. The old and new buildings will be joined together by a spectacular glass walkway. From early 2010 the museum galleries, changing exhibitions, education service, Labour History Archive & Study Centre, Textile Conservation Studio, corporate facilities, café and shop will be housed in a new fantastic building.
