PHM Logo

PHM is the national museum of democracy

Hampshire Centre for Independent Living banner British Council Of Disabled People demonstration 1988. Image courtesy of Disabled People's ArchivePHM tells the story of the past, present and future of democracy in Britain. The right to vote, time to rest, fair pay – what has led to the freedoms we have today and what still needs to be done for a better future?

Visit the museum and 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.

Our current programme of activity puts a spotlight on the history of disabled people’s rights and activism.
