About BMAG
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery opened in 1885 and remains one of the city's defining cultural buildings. Its collection is broad, but the site works best when it gives visitors a few confident entry points rather than asking them to read a wall of text.
This version keeps the original dark, editorial mood and turns it into a structured visitor page with real sections, better mobile behavior, image modals and source links.
