Story

The Museum Collection Centre in Nechells, Birmingham, England is a 1.5 hectare building that holds 80 per cent of Birmingham Museums Trust's stored collections under one roof. It is one of the UK's largest museum stores. Among the thousands of objects stored there are steam engines, sculptures, a collection of Austin, Rover and MG motor cars, a red phone box and a Sinclair C5.It opens to the public monthly, or by arrangement. There are also other open days, which tend to take place during the Spring and Summer Bank Holidays.The Museum Collection Centre is also home to The Museum in a Box service which enables schools and community groups to borrow original artefacts.In September 2014 trainee curator Lukas Large uncovered a taxidermied specimen of the long extinct North American passenger pigeon in the collection.

A great open day.lots to see and the vintage buses looked great.
A great opportunity to visit the normally unseen items of the museum. Lots of industrial and engineering artefacts that can't normally be displayed plus many others!
A fabulous storage facility containing 800,000 items +.
Excellent place to explore. Lots of interesting items. On heritage days there is a free bus running from city centre.
Great place to visit. Look online for open days. Vast and interesting collection of items to see. Trails, tours and talks from experts. Wish I'd had more time.
Very informative well worth a visit. Even better with the story teller. Great for the whole family.
