Gas Hall

This was a fascinating museum to visit, displaying much cultural artwork and pieces related to Birmingham! There are exhibits focusing on certain city aspects like clubbing, racism and film; the third was the most interesting with its section Wonderland. A special addition is the old cinema seats that visitors are invited to sit in, also a separate corridor shows museum objects from over time!

Can't wait to come back to see the completed renovation. The wilded front steps around the fountain were stunning. The exhibitions that were open were a great incite into the city's varied and colourful past.

I always enjoy visiting this museum. Unfortunately it is undergoing substantial renovations at present and so only a couple of galleries ok Plus gift shop and Edwardian Tea rooms are open Having said that, it is still worth visiting since there are some interesting exhibits to inspect. I found the short animated film Child of Empire to be most interesting and moving. There is also an interesting exhibition about cinemas in Birmingham which could well bring back memories. The museum will close in December 2022 and will not open again until 2024 when it is intended to have all of the galleries open

The part of the museum that were open were hit and miss for me, I enjoyed the movie theatre section, but found most of the other exhibits a bit uninspiring, probably because the topics are not of interest to me. I would have liked to have seen the full collection as I believe there is better items currently unavailable due to the ongoing works. I must return one day and see the rest to give it a fair judgement.

One of my favourite places to visit in Birmingham, especially on a cold wet winter's day when your sluggish brain needs engagement and uplifting. If you like museums, it's one of the best outside the big beasts of London. And unlike them, it's the regional culture, not just the national and international, which is the high point. Finally, the diversity of the exhibits, exhibitions, voices you're exposed to. Did I say finally? Give the Edwardian Tea Room a go.

Didn't really go in here for the art work I'm sorry to all the artists! I wanted to see the building and it's architecture, the floors walls and roof. See how real buildings were built back in the day as you can see all around.... All these modern pop ups. ITS ALSO FREE! So get yourself down and take a look.

The building from outside is magnificent. It is well kept in the inside with Marple floors and stairway. 2 floors are currently open for public. I will only give 3 stars as this museum had very very few valuable or historic items in display. All what I could see was modern paintings, photos, portraits, few LED screens and TVs with repeating videos. This city has a very old worldclass history in industry, steel, military, innovation and others during the 17th to 20th centuries . I am sure you could easily find thousands of anient pieces that worth being displayed. The good thing that it was free to enter that day.

A lot of the gallery seemed to be closed off when I visited which was a shame, but what I saw was interesting. The gallery boasted about having the largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings in the UK, but I only saw one on display. ‍ Still worth checking out if you're interested in art and culture.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Interesting gallery! Visit my friends in Birmingham and she invited me here. Many things to see and all of the work has its own story behind which left a meaning for those who want to explore about pop art.

The museum showcases a lot of history of Birmingham. There is no fee to visit the place. It is free. There is a shop and a restaurant too. Many paintings, sculptures & interactive machines to use.Visited onWeekday
