My first visit to the museum. It exceeded my expectations. Pre Raphaelite exhibition was really good. The Staffordshire hoard was very intetesting but my favourite was the history of Birmingham. Also the tearooms are well worth a visit. Reasonably priced coffee and cake.

The museum is situated a short walk from New Street train station. Beautiful historic building located in Chamberlian Square, admission is free. When we arrived the Ozzy Osborne exhibition was on display. This museum is worth a visit even if its just for the history of Birmingham, cultural and historical items.

The museum was outstanding. Very clean, staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, and very considerate when providing assistance, especially to those with additional support needs. There's portable chairs behind the doors, a great personal touch when you're spending a few hours in there. I visited from Manchester to see the Ozzy Osbourne exhibition, the Made In Birmingham exhibition, and paid in to see Giants whilst I was there. Highly recommend and will be returning in the future. Gift shop was great, with lots of different quirky items connected to the exhibitions.

The building is really mislabeled. There’s one room with Art which may have 20 canvases. One of them is quite a nice place but otherwise if you’re coming for Art, you’re not going to find anything that you want. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a museum with a great coverage of the history of Birmingham, the top floor of the building has a very excellent series of exhibits on this topic. That’s not why I came here, but I did enjoy it quite a lot. If you have kids, there’s a dinosaur exhibit on the lower floor. I think it’s 9 pounds for adults and free for kids. Otherwise, the museum is free. There’s a nice coffee shop.
