Birmingham’s museum and art gallery closed in 2020 for the pandemic and, apart from one hall (Gas Hall) which is currently showing the Victorian Radicals collection, it has not opened since. It took the decision to remain closed for a four-year period to facilitate maintenance and building work. In the meantime, most of its exhibits are housed in a huge warehouse a couple of miles outside the city centre. Today my sister and I were able to attend one of its open days. It was fascinating and HUGE!
How very interesting. There must be all the pictures in racks etc. Good decision keeping it closed to get the work finished though. Very enterprising still to let visitors in.
Lesley - this is a superb shot with great lighting and a super PoV.
The lighting emphasizes the industrial look.
Would you consider entering this in the architectural challenge - 'It's all about the light'?

Great shot here, and it looks like one could spend HOURS in there, looking at the contents. Love the diminishing view ... (also, thanks for the FOLLOW, I appreciate it!)

And yes, it is good enough!
This is fascinating!
I just checked out the Victorian Radicals, I would certainly love to see that!
