    A fantastic Changing Places Toilet

    I visited the museum as I'd heard great things about the workers' rights and political exhibits, I didn't anticipate that I'd find an amazing Changing Places Toilet. This review is specific to the Changing Places toilet, rather than the museum as a whole.

    An Engaging Exhibition

    Described as the national museum of democracy, the People's History Museum lives up to its name. Distributed over three floors, with a cafe, gift shop, and reception desk on floor one, a worker's rights and suffrage exhibition on floor two, and a politics exhibition on floor three, the museum is surprisingly engaging. There were a few standout elements of the museum, the Spitting Image style puppets on the political floor and the retro jukebox on that same floor. The museum holds an important focus on the Peterloo Massacre, which took place in St Peter's Field in 1819, where 60,000 people gathered to demand reform of parliamentary representation and were charged by cavalry. The location is well equipped, with level access and step-free access throughout and features a recently added Changing Places toilet.

    Excellent Toilets

    They recently got new toilets including changing place toilets, disabled toilets, gender neutral toilets and female/male only toilets. They also have sensory packs which you can borrow and a quiet room too.
