In Pictures: Inside Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery ahead of reopening after 4 year closure - 15 photos

The museum’s main building and tearooms reopens to the public tomorrow after being closed for four years since Covid.

Several gallery spaces will re-open to the public at 10am, after essential maintenance work to the heating, electrics, lifts and roofing was completed on schedule across the whole Council House complex.

The stunning Round Room Gallery, Industrial Gallery, Bridge Gallery and Edwardian Tearooms are among the gallery and visitor spaces to reopen.

The museum’s iconic Round Room will be at the heart of the reopening with new and familiar artworks back on display surrounding Jacob Epstein’s stunning bronze sculpture, Lucifer.

The Industrial Gallery will reopen with a new ‘Made in Birmingham’ display, which celebrates the city of a thousand trades, its self-deprecating humour, creative people and their worldwide impact.

The popular Tearooms and Shop will also reopen in October for hot drinks, a new food and drink menu and unique gift collections and collaborations with local artists and makers in the museum shop.

Due to visitor demand, the Victorian Radicals exhibition of world-famous Pre-Raphaelite art will continue in The Gas Hall until at least Christmas 2024.

The gallery spaces due to reopen in October have had extensive and sensitive flooring and roof restoration work.

Here are some new photos of the museum.
