Located in the heart of the West Midlands, the Museum tells over 300 years of history, from the Industrial Revolution to post-war prosperity, through living interpretation.
Visitors are invited to step inside each of the buildings to say ‘Ow am ya?’ and chat with the people that made this place home, from metalworkers and miners to nurses and schoolteachers – and even a pub landlord or two. They will discover the history of a small region that made a big impact on the people, culture and industry of the world and understand why the area was called ‘the Black Country’. Visitors can go underground in the drift mine to find out what life was like for an 1850s miner or watch a short film from the silent era in the 1920s cinema. They can see classic cars, vans and motorcycles and even ride on a vintage bus. Or perhaps take part in an Edwardian school lesson – but be careful not to get the cane!
The new 1940s-60s high street is open for business and shares popular culture of the time. Visitors can meet new historic characters, see the latest fashions, taste nostalgic sweets, listen to trend setting vinyl records, and shop in the 1950s butchers.
For those of you who are thrill seekers, head over to the fairground to experience traditional rides, reach for the stars on the super-sonic jets or have a go at old-time stall games. And, as you delve into the past, why not buy pick up a paper bag of traditional sweets or get a round in, in one of two working pubs.
