Summary
Birmingham’s museums are stepping up for summer with a major funding boost—$289,000 from the city council—to extend hours and welcome more families and visitors. Thinktank, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter will all open more days, including weekends and holidays, while Blakesley Hall and the Museum Collection Centre join the expanded schedule. This push aims to make culture more accessible, especially for school holidays and weekends, with plans to make these changes permanent. The move follows a successful Ozzy Osbourne exhibition and reflects the trust’s excitement to grow Birmingham’s cultural footprint and draw more people into the city.
