Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
With a National Art Pass you get
Housed in a Grade II* listed building, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery offers art, history, archaeology and a world renowned Pre-Raphaelite collection.
The museum first opened in 1885 and includes more than 40 galleries, covering fine art, costume and jewellery, social history, archaeology and ethnography.
The art gallery is famous for its Pre-Raphaelite paintings, which are part of the largest public Pre-Raphaelite collection in the world. Many of the works were amassed when the gallery first opened. At the time, local industrialists and politicians were keen to help boost the city's collections with works by living artists.
You can also see art and objects spanning centuries of European and World history and culture, including artefacts from Ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt.
