Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery - gallery closures
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (U.K.)
Birmingham Museum & Art gallery has had to undergo roof works for the past five years, owing to structural instability of the roof trusses and flat roof sections. The 5th and penultimate phase of these roof works is about to start and will take place above the Great Charles Street elevation of the museum.
The roof works create heavy vibrations that can cause serious damage to museum objects and artefacts if left on display in areas close to where the contractors are working. In this fifth phase of the roof works the museum is consequently forced to close six of its galleries for 15 months. The six galleries that will have to close are:
Gallery 32 - Greeks, Romans & the Ancient Near East gallery
Gallery 33 - World Cultures and Vibes gallery
Gallery 34 - Egyptians gallery
Gallery 35 - Birmingham Archaeology gallery
Gallery 36 - Ways of Seeing gallery
Gallery 37 - The Wonderwall displayGallery 32, Gallery 33, Gallery 34, Gallery 35 and Gallery 36 will reopen on 30th August 2008. Gallery 37 will remain closed at that time. It is scheduled to reopen on 28th March 2009.
