Visiting Birmingham’s museums

NB4U have been given the chance to take groups of Ukrainian guests to visit the various museums in Birmingham.

A visit to a museum is a great way to learn more about Birmingham – our city, our history, and our culture.

Two volunteers with NB4U (Roger and Malcolm) have both been given a Community Pass, which means that they are able to take groups of Ukrainian guests to visit the museums free of charge. This could be a small group of around 4 people, or a larger group of around 12 people.

Roger and Malcolm will be organising visits to the various museums. Details will be given nearer the time.

The 5 museums included in the scheme are:

Think-Tank

The science museum in Birmingham is called the Think Tank, and is especially suitable for families and children.

Museum Collection Centre

The Museum Collection Centre is a large warehouse which contains around 800,000 items (from cars to stuffed animals!) which cannot be displayed in other museums because of a lack of space.
