Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery Thursday 16 April

Thursday 16 April 2026

Our first visit of 2026 will be to Birmingham and will begin at the Pen Museum in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. The museum was opened in 2001 and the exhibition displays bring to life the history of one of Birmingham's most famous industries. 

Following the Pen Museum, the coach will take us to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery where we will have lunch before visiting the gallery.  

Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery is housed in a stunning Grade II* listed landmark building and has recently been refurbished. Four of the newly refurbished galleries feature over 60 paintings, sculpture and stained glass panels by the Pre-Raphaelites. The gallery is proud to have the largest collection of art and design by the Pre-Raphaelites and their followers, in the world.
