Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery reveals re-opening date
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery (BMAG) is set to re-open in April.
After being closed – firstly by the pandemic and then by essential electrical works – BMAG will open seven days a week, from 10am – 5pm from April 28.
Sara Wajid and Zak Mensah, joint CEOs of Birmingham Museums Trust, said: “The year ahead is really exciting. Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery has been closed – firstly by the pandemic and then for rewiring – and we’re going to partially reopen in 2022 in time for the Commonwealth Games, and it’s going to feel very different.
“We’ve invited some of the city’s leading creatives and arts organisations to animate the Round Room and Industrial Gallery with vibrant new displays that feel much more immediate. We’ll be touching on themes like popular culture, identity and community and there will be a very warm welcome inviting everyone to join in. We can’t wait.”
Birmingham’s collections can be further explored at Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum.
Opening dates and events in 2022 at the city’s historic properties – Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall, Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, Soho House and Weoley Castle – are also to be announced in the new year.
