Something to do in Manchester

I was reading Sunday newspapers and came across this gallery in Manchester. It's actually Museum called People's history museum. It has collection of 18th and 19th century political cartoons and it is generally regarded as one of the finest outside the British Museum. There are significant poster collections, particularly some 1500 political posters relating to the Spanish Civil War and to the Labour Party, some 3000 badges from a variety of organisations and an important collection of political tokens and medals. There is a substantial collection of the work of Cliff Rowe, a founding member of the Artists International Association, a collection of commemorative ceramics and some 70,000 photographic images covering labour history, the Labour Party and more general social history.
