Heritage Open Day – Collections Store Tour – SOLD OUT
Free
On this special tour, our Museum Manager and fantastic museum volunteers will take you behind the scenes. Delve into our archives and see some of the oldest and most precious objects the museum cares for. This includes some of the very earliest mugshots taken in the UK, criminal records going back over 150 years (including members of some notorious 19th century gangs) and some of the more delicate items that are unsuitable to be on display.

The West Midlands Police Museum now lives in the old Victorian Lock Up on Steelhouse Lane in Birmingham city centre. In this atmospheric setting the museum houses its collections. We tell the story of policing in the West Midlands, going right back to its founding in the 1830s.
Please note that this tour does not include entry to the museum
