Museum of the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham

The Museum of the Jewellery Quarter is a museum offering a time-capsule depiction of what a turn-of-the-century jewellery workshop looked like. The museum is found in the original location where the workshop operated from 1900 until it was abandoned in 1981. When the original owners retired, they locked up and left everything as it lay.

The museum opened in 1992 and today preserves the workshop just as it was. Here, you can learn the story of 200 years of the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter and the skills of the craft while seeing collections of old jewels and tools.
