The People’s History Museum has announced a series of guided tours of its new exhibition, ‘On the Line: 100 years of strikes and solidarity’, led by curator, Mark Wilson.

Marking the centenary of the 1926 strike, the exhibition opened at PHM in Manchester on Saturday 21 March and runs until Monday 2 November 2026, taking visitors on a journey through the hundred years of turbulent industrial relations that followed. Eagle-eyed readers may remember that we previously covered the launch of ‘On the Line’ here.

‘On The Line’ examines what drives people to feel that striking is the only option, exploring historic turning points and the differing perspectives that shape these pivotal moments. Drawing on PHM’s nationally significant collection of historic and contemporary material, the exhibition presents stories of conflict, acts of resistance, and the strength that comes from collective power.

Now, the PHM is offering guided tours of these important objects and stories, covering the 1926 General Strike, the Grunwick Strike (1976-78), as well as an exploration of the vibrant visual culture that has developed around strike action.
