About
84/85 – The Longest Year is a yearlong exhibition and programme of events, held at the National Coal Mining Museum. 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 will be addressing the broader picture of the strike and giving a voice to those who experienced it.
