While our museums and heritage sites remain close during the national lockdown, we have bought our museum activities to your home this February half term.

Despite our museums being locked up tight for Lockdown 3.

We have had a great term setting up our virtual streaming service to schools as we all find a way to adjust in this very strange year.

A small but significant memory from my teen years is a conversation I had with my Mother about her citizenship.

On 21st May, we launched our Life on Lockdown project to capture what it’s been like living and working in Birmingham during lockdown.

Hi! I’m Frankie and I’m a final year English literature student at the University of Birmingham.

Launched on the 26th May, the Big Brum BioBlitz was all about encouraging families, young people and adults to explore their natural environment and carry out their very own BioBlitz! As we were spending more time in our homes, nature was taking over our city, giving us chance to get involved in environmental science and record what was happening – and the people of Birmingham didn’t need much persuading! Our iNaturalist project page saw 620 new species identified during the BioBlitz! .

There are many beetles in the Museum’s insect collection.

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) is back! To celebrate we’ve put together a list of 11 of our favourite artworks and things to see as you explore the reopened Level 2 galleries.

In the summer of 2018, I showed two works for my BA Fine Art Degree Show: Not Your Fantasy I and Not Your Fantasy II.
