• Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery
  "Never disappoints"
  "This museum and art gallery has shown some real treasures in its time, such as the Staffordshire Hoard, but the gallery itself is a treasure not to be missed.

The BMAG never disappoints. Keep bringing those exhibitions please. " More >

It ..."kept me, my wife and 3 kids 8-12 occupied for the full 45 mins. It made the house tour when we went in that must more enjoyable, spotting inside what had been pointed out on the tour round the exterior. The guides as ever were excellent especially the below stairs and "Murder Room" ones; the latter made us seek out the church on the way back home. Last years diaries have been replaced by a watercolour artist theme. This was a bit disappointing to be honest as the originals were not on display, only copies which were lifeless to me. Excellent second book shop on site Highly recommended for any members in the Midlands. Should make non members think about joining as well. Warnin... " More >
