New Staffordshire Hoard gallery opened 17th October 2014. Greek and Roman artifacts moved to floor above (Egyptian artifacts still above where the hoard is now). Birmingham History Galleries also here

Ihar Ivanou

Pre-Raphaelites collection is really good & Birmingham School of Art section is fun. Ask 4 current temporary exhibitions : I was surprised with art from the Government Collection normally inaccessible.

Banu Dnzr

Has a beautiful art collection from various medieval artists as well as modern day exhibitions . The collection in the Edwardian Tearoom has very delicate pieces that must not be missed.

Stuart Millard

Lovely cafe/restaurant, if a bit pricey . Sandwiches for two adults and two children with drinks came to £17. Hot meals for around £7, beer for £3!!!

Carole Newman

Well worth a visit. So many things to see, such a journey of Birmingham's great history on offer.

Dariana Ponomareva

A bit smaller than expected. Very nice plaice to visit alone or with kids . Beautiful cafe inside .

Simon

The museum is not very big but there are a couple of nice paintings . The temporary expositions are usually worth seeing. Overall, I suggest paying a visit, it does not take much time.

Before the gallery opened, Birmingham’s citizens had campaigned for a Corporation Art Gallery for over 40 years. Now that’s patience.

Matthew Whittaker

Massive luggage lockers available for £1 - ideal spot to store your luggage whilst exploring the city

Marc Reeves

The Steve McCurry exhibition is so worth an afternoon. Haunting documentary photographs that have incredible beauty. You'll remember the images long after you leave.

Angela Facer

Make sure you leave a whole day to walk round - well worth a visit.

Very pleasing contemporary art room at mo, Fiona Rae, Jason Martin, and more...

Hate to say it, but this is a boring museum , the exhibits are quite disappointing - especially the Staffordshire Hoard . The staff are friendly and engaging though.

Dorian Liriano

There is no admission fee but they accept donations so don't be stingy.

Hediyelik eşya alabileceğiniz içerisinde kafesi bulunan müze severler için tarih dolu bir yer tavsiye edilir. Her ne kadar yangın alarmı sebebiyle erken çıksam da güzeldi :)
