REDS! — CPGB HISTORY EXHIBITION: A new temporary exhibition at the People's History Museum, Manchester offers a combined visual and audio history of the Communist Party of Great Britain. The exhibition includes 'striking banners, cartoons, posters and photographs from the museum's collections, including pieces that have never previously been displayed'. Visitors also have the opportunity to listen to oral testimony from CPGB members gathered as part of the CPGB Biographical Project at the University of Manchester. A number of tie-in events have been organised, including (on the first Friday of the month) a 'Bluffer's guide' tour, and in January 2004 a parallel photographic and archival display at the John Rylands University of Manchester Library. A day conference on the CPGB takes place on Saturday 21 February 2004 (see here). Reds! The Story of the Communist Party of Great Britain continues until 25 April 2004. For further information, including opening times, contact: People History Museum, The Pump House, Bridge Street, Manchester M3 3ER; tel 0161 839 6061; www.peopleshistorymuseum.org.uk.
