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.
