Step beyond the gallery walls and into the hidden heart of Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Our Hidden Spaces Tours offer a rare opportunity to explore areas of the building that are usually closed to the public — including storerooms, tucked-away corridors, and architectural gems often overlooked.

Join our expert guides as you:

• Wander through off-limits spaces
• Soak in the incredible Victorian architecture from a new perspective
• Hear about recent and upcoming renovation projects
• Encounter a few collection superstars along the way
• Enjoy quirky tales from BMAG’s colourful past — from mysterious goings-on to hidden passageways

The building itself is one of our most fascinating artefacts — come and experience it in a whole new light.

Spaces are limited. Book now and uncover the hidden history of BMAG.
