Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery
Make this your civic-centre stop for Pre-Raphaelite art, the Staffordshire Hoard and Birmingham’s history, choosing galleries in advance rather than trying to cover the whole collection.

Art and local history share the same visit here, which gives the museum a broader appeal than a paintings-only stop. The Round Room and Industrial Gallery provide architectural interest as well as displays. Outside, Chamberlain Square connects the collections to the civic buildings and monuments that surround them.
What to look for
Pre-Raphaelite art is one of the museum’s principal collection themes.
The Staffordshire Hoard offers a different focus from the paintings.
The Round Room and Industrial Gallery add architectural interest to the displays.
