This exhibition celebrates the solo achievements and global awards of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne and the album art of the original Black Sabbath line-up to coincide with their historic homecoming concert at Villa Park on Saturday 5 July 2025.

The free-to-enter exhibition at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery called ‘Working Class Hero’ showcases Ozzy’s most prestigious international honours – including Grammy Awards, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame accolades, MTV awards, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars honours and a selection of his platinum and gold discs which recognise millions of record sales around the world, alongside photography and video that charts his journey from “a working-class kid from Aston” to becoming the world’s most recognisable global rock legend.

Ozzy Osbourne Working Class Hero is an exhibition by Central BID Birmingham, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and Sharon Osbourne Management sponsored by Ocean Outdoor and supported by Birmingham City Council, Aston Villa F.C. and West Midlands Growth Company.

Due to popular demand the exhibition will now be on display until Sunday 27 September 2026 to allow for more fans to see the exhibition. 

Open Monday - Sunday  10am - 5pm. Please note that from February, the opening times during term time will change to Wednesday – Sunday. During Birmingham school holidays, we will remain open 7 days a week.

Free entry.
