Pen Museum

My sister and I recently visited the Pen Museum in Birmingham. The star display on the left was made entirely out of pen nibs, and we even got to make some pen nibs of our own. The quote on the right made us smile.

A bit more information here, if you want to know more: https://penmuseum.org.uk/about/

I looked up the link and found it quite interesting. It seems that Birmingham is doing well to preserve the memory of some unusual past industries.

@lmsa @etienne Thanks both. I’ve lived here all my life and only now that I’ve retired have I discovered so much about its history.

@phil_howcroft Haha after that day out (pens and coffins) I really worried that I was ‘losing it’, especially when the old guy in the pen museum tried to charge us senior rate as he assumed we were over 65! I definitely need some modernisation:)
