About Saturday Explore the Museum Collection Centre
Explore the Museum Collection Centre, which is a 1.5-hectare site that holds 80 per cent of Birmingham Museums’ stored collections under one roof.
Entry is by a self-guided visit where you can explore the stores at your own pace. During your visit, you will see a vast range of objects, often with a real focus on Birmingham and the West Midlands. Among the hundreds of thousands of objects stored here are steam engines, sculptures, a transport collection of Austin, Rover and MG motor cars, dozens of motorbikes and even a red phone box.
The contrasting mix of objects and the behind-the-scenes atmosphere at the Museum Collection Centre make it an intriguing place to explore and discover more about museum stores.
Pre-booking is essential, no tickets are available on the day.
