Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

 

As one of the leading cultural employers in the region across nine sites, Birmingham Museums Trust has committed to a number of pledges. These include supporting reservists who may need leave for training, striving to support the employment of service spouses and partners, and helping to create opportunities for veterans. Other commitments include free admission on Armed Forces Day for service personnel, veterans, reservists and local cadets, including discounts on this day for Birmingham Museums Trust membership.

 

About us

 

Birmingham Museums Trust is an independent charity that manages the city’s museum collection and venues on behalf of Birmingham City Council.  It uses the collection of around 1 million objects to provide a wide range of arts, cultural and historical experiences, events and activities that deliver accessible learning, creativity and enjoyment for citizens and visitors to the city. 

The collection is one of the three great civic collections of the UK, reflecting the city’s historic and continuing position as a major international centre for manufacturing, commerce, education and culture. Most areas of the collection are designated as being of national importance, including the finest public collection of Pre-Raphaelite art in the world.

Attracting over one million visits a year, Birmingham Museums venues are Aston Hall, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Blakesley Hall, Museum Collection Centre, Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, Sarehole Mill, Soho House, Thinktank and Weoley Castle.
