Wonderful to visit and spend time browsing around ceramics, paintings, silverware etc. Allow plenty of time as we took over three hours in one room.
The cafeteria offers good value and wholesome food.
I was really impressed with this place and gladly recommend it.
Enjoy.

Easy to find using the many signposts around Birmingham, this is in a wonderful group of buildings which are worth seeing almost as much as the exhibits. There are a lot of stairs at the main entrance so anyone with limited mobility should follow signs leading to a lift at the side of the building. Once you get upstairs you...

Annual visit to Museum to see Santa has really made us appreciate and make the time to look around this Museum.
The exhibitions never fail to capture our attention.
Always an enjoyable experience

We took our grandchildren and they enjoyed the interactive activities that they could join in and participate.
The grandchildren were very impressed with the extremely large paintings which has inspired them now to do paintings.
The cafe/restaurant is in a beautiful setting, well worth going in for a drink and something to eat.
