People’s History Museum celebrates 90 years of Penguin Books 

Join the People’s History Museum as they celebrate 90 years of the legendary Penguin Books this Easter. Families are invited to make mini books inspired by a revolution in publishing and the change-makers whose stories are told in the museum’s galleries. Taking place in PHM’s Playful Protest Space, children will be given a series of fun challenges to help them create their mini masterpieces to add to their bookshelves at home.

‘When Penguin Books was founded in 1935 by Allen Lane it democratised literature, making quality paperback books available to the masses for the first time.  This is exactly the sort of idea worth fighting for that PHM champions as the national museum of democracy, and why it’s exploring the 90th anniversary of Penguin Books.’
