I must admit that I found the People's History Museum a little disappointing. The idea is great: A museum that is devoted to the social history of Great Britain, involving for example human rights, the labour reform, the fight for the environment, women's rights and so on. It shows the development of social history over the centuries, taking in many events of British history.
I expected that I would love this museum, but unfortunately I don't think that it really succeeds. The displays are a little soulless, and some were hard to understand (at least if you are not from Britain and don't know so much about local politics). What I didn't like at all was that it seemed to have the attitude that now, in the 21st century, all things and aims have been achieved. We have many reforms, women can vote, homosexuals don't need to be afraid anymore, so everything is right.
SORRY???
Even if everything was alright in Europe (which is not), there are many parts in the world where things are not right, and that should not be ignored... So altogether I think the museum is a little too self-righteous, and that disappointed me. I think there should also have been a focus on what still needs to be done.
