Engaging explanations from our awesome tour guide Brendan! More than just learning about its history, Brendan also showed us how the machines worked, creating a super immersive experience! It is incredible that the factory has been kept in the state that it was left in many years ago ! Could only recommend !

Fantastic little museum. Like stepping back in time. Had a guided tour by Steve, whose knowledge of the history of the building people who worked there was amazing. It's not fully restored yet but what there is available to see is well worth the visit. I will Definitely be going back again once it is fully restored.

Very insightful and interesting experience. The museum goes beyond the standard experience, and our tour guide Brendan made it even more engaging by adding in personal anecdotes as well as showing us how the machinery worked. Highly reccomend to visit when in Birmingham!

Such an interesting place. The history of jewellery making and how things have changed and how so much has not. Great place and the tour guide really knew her history. Thank you so much for a truly enjoyable experience
