Birmingham Museum

It’s nice to take someone around the Birmingham museum, especially if they haven’t been before. What most people don’t realise is that you’re visiting a set of council buildings and each one is interconnected by a bridge which is disguised by a series of corridors. The main entrance seems to be hidden at the back of the council building. But when you reach the angel in the main entrance, you forget that you’re not on ground level because it seems that you can’t go any lower. But if you head across into the next building; there’s a variety of staircases and directions to choose from. You can stay on the ground floor and view the traditional paintings; head upstairs for local history and the Egyptian exhibit; or head downstairs for the guest exhibit. I suppose having it downstairs in another building makes it easier for the guest exhibitors to construct and pack away.
