Great Hall, University of Birmingham

The Great Hall and the marble foyer are part of the original university buildings. The impressive stained glass window behind the stage is an attractive feature of the hall and the domed ceiling of the foyer is a wonderful example of trompe l’oeil painting.

Thinktank

The Thinktank redefines the concept of a science museum.  Think of it more as a way to discover the world around you and the life you lead. From steam engines to intestines, this exciting museum has over 200 hands-on displays on science and technology

Town Hall

The Town Hall has undergone a £35m renovation, funded by Birmingham City Council (£18.3m), Heritage Lottery Fund (£13.7m) and European Regional Development Fund (£3m).
Acclaimed at its opening in 1834 as the finest music hall in the country, this Grade 1 listed landmark has been lovingly and painstakingly renovated by a dedicated team of conservation and construction professionals. Since that time, its imposing neo-classical design has dominated the City centre’s Victoria and Chamberlain Squares.
