Museums & Galleries

Sandwell is home to a rich industrial heritage, as well as iconic historical buildings – from a 17^th century half-timbered yeoman farmer’s house to a Victorian Art Gallery. And with a changing programme of temporary exhibitions, activities and events for all ages – there is always a lot to see and do.

All our museums are free – other than ticketed admissions to some specific events and activities – and we can’t wait to share our local history and stories with you ….
