The People’s History Museum has been chosen as a finalist for Museum of the Year. The Manchester attraction, which is the UK’s national museum of democracy, is one of five finalists for the biggest prize in the industry.
It will go up against stiff competition in Horniman Museum and Gardens (London), Derby Museums, Museum of Making (Derby), The Story Museum (Oxford), and Tŷ Pawb (Wrexham).
Bosses at PHM say they are ‘absolutely delighted’ to be given the nod, with the institute’s 2021 programme focusing on migration. Director Katy Ashton said: “We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for Museum of the Year 2022, which is such amazing recognition of the brilliant work of the whole museum team.
