While on a visit to Birmingham make sure you stop off at it’s top attraction, the Black Country Living Museum is an award-winning open air museum that tells the story of one of the very first industrialised landscapes in Britain. Set across 26 acres, you’ll explore carefully reconstructed shops, houses and industrial areas that represent the Black Country’s story. You’ll learn how steam power, human ingenuity and an increasingly interconnected world transformed this region into a manufacturing powerhouse.
On your day out at Black Country Living Museum, you’ll meet our historic characters who’ll tell you stories of what it was really like to live and work during this revolutionary period of history.
We proudly share why our small region made a big impact on the world and bring Birmingham‘s Black Country folk back to life, from metalworkers and miners to nurses and schoolteachers – and even a pub landlord or two.
As you walk around, you’ll discover our collections, which were ‘Designated’ by Arts Council England in 2012, recognising their quality and national significance.
Most importantly, you’ll see history brought to life before your eyes in this top attraction in Birmingham – hear the clang of hammers, smell the smoke billowing from red brick chimneys and maybe even taste the best fish and chips in the Black Country, as yow explore shops, houses and industrial workshops. If you’re looking for things to do during school or half term holidays in and around Birmingham, Black Country Living Museum has plenty to see and do, yow are in for a bostin’ day!
