Museum Collections Centre

The Museums Collections Centre in Nechells has brought together 80 per cent of Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery’s stored collections under one roof.

The 1.5 hectare site, close to Duddeston Station, holds hundreds of thousands of objects. Among the collections are steam engines, sculptures, an entire collection of Austin, Rover and MG motor cars, a red phone box and even a Sinclair C5.

The contrasting mix of objects and the behind-the-scenes atmosphere at the collections centre make it an intriguing place to explore.

Part of the collections held at this centre are Designated Collections of national importance.
