84/85 – The Longest Year
84/85 – The Longest Year is a yearlong exhibition and programme of events, held at the National Coal Mining Museum for England. Opening on 6 March 2024, it marks the 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike.
This exhibition considers the strike through memories and stories of miners and their families. Uniquely positioned at a former working colliery, the Museum addresses the broader picture of the strike and gives a voice to those who experienced it.
Shaped by the memories and objects shared through a public call-out and our existing collection, the exhibition looks at three different points of view:
Those who stayed out on strike for the whole year
Those who returned to work early
Those who did not strike
