Discover a changing city though the work of father and son artists, Frank and Arthur Lockwood.

Over almost 100 years, Frank and Arthur captured Birmingham’s streets, buildings and people, from factories and farms to shopping centres and new developments. Their work tells a personal story of a city that has never stood still.

Featuring paintings, sketchbooks, designs and more, this exhibition explores how Birmingham has been built, demolished, and reinvented over the generations. Some of the places they painted have disappeared while others are still familiar today.

Selected and interpreted by Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery’s Visitor Experience team, the exhibition invites you to discover familiar places, see Birmingham from a different perspective, and reflect on your own memories and experiences of our changing city.
