Amazing Musuem. Really loved it and a real credit to Birmingham. A stunning building inside and out and they have done a great job keeping to glorious architecture front and foremost and relevant with the modern Musuem style. It was quite self aware and has a few cheeky digs at itself and its reputation, but the pride of the Brummies in their amazing cities shined through. It has plenty of modern reflections on its collection but the key thing was they had those treasures on display to enjoy, enlighten, and learn. Its art collection is top notch, the Saxon hoard display is really excellent with lots on display and interaction and info that gives great context. The Ozzy display is great but in a difficult area as it’s a corridor and get very crowded but the love of Burms very own working class hero shines though and is amazing to see.

I took my mum here because she wanted to see the Ozzy Osborne event and the Staffordshire horde. Wow. So worth it! Great museum, the disabled entrance was a little tricky to find but got there in the end. Loads to see. We didn’t get around it all. Good excuse to return. Lovely cafe lots of seating. Okay menu, there was only one thing we could have which was soup because of our dairy allergies. But it was very nice. Friendly staff. The only thing was with the heat we have at the moment the building was very hot! We could only stay for so long before it got too much. Will return with our battery neck fans next time. The Staffordshire horde is amazing, they said it will be there permanently and they swop things out from time to time so will be interesting to see what is there next time. The Ozzy exhibition was brilliant! There was mainly awards there and a bit of his origin story. The throne that he sat in for the last show was great to see. So happy to have seen that. The architecture of the building itself is beautiful, I look forward to seeing the whole thing next time.

Really nice museum, free and rather well organised ! We spent about 2 hours walking around. It was just a shame that some part of the museum was in renovation / reorganisation. We also had some difficulties finding the entrance (recommend using a map). Highly recommend it !! it offers a lot of interaction tools if you wish to come with your children !

Its free to visit but I would recommend to donate. Kids loved it, parking is a bit challenge. We parked at Navigation street car park( under the bridge). Visitors can easily spend a half day going through each of the art work (this would be a challenge with kids). The musuem has 2-3floors, lifts accessible. The staff were very friendly and advised to use tap and listen pods. Gas Hall is a ticketed entey £10/Pp(approx.)
