The Museum is essentially an urban heritage park to which buildings from throughout the Black Country have been relocated and are brought to life to tell the story of the area's rich heritage.

On a site of more than 10 hectares over 40 buildings have been built ranging in scale from the massive entrance building, the relocated Rolfe Street baths complex, to a small outside toilet each building appear to reflect some element of the Black Country's rich past.

Our friends at the Empire Cinema in Great Park, Rubery have launched a Senior Screening Concession.

Every Wednesday morning from 10.30am they will be providing tea and biscuits and then showing popular films.

A group for carers of those of dementia or memory problems who are no longer caring at home.
