Connecting with us

Birmingham Museums Trust looks after the city’s collections on behalf of the people of Birmingham. We offer many different ways to get involved, from skills development and social connections, to supporting people to visit and telling different stories of the city. 

Volunteering

We are lucky to have an amazing team of volunteers supporting us across our sites, and from home. Our volunteers get involved with a range of projects and activities, and we couldn’t do what we do without them. Please see our volunteering page for more details and to see how you can get involved.

Community Welcome Pass Scheme

Our Community Welcome Pass scheme could help you explore the city’s museums for free. The scheme is open to community groups, CICs or small charities based in Birmingham, Solihull or Sandwell who work with groups who face barriers to visiting our museums.

Community Corner

Located at the heart of the Made in Birmingham display in Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, the Community Corner showcases the people and stories shaping Birmingham today. These changing displays celebrate the city’s communities, giving groups a space to tell their own story.
