Black Country Living Museum |

|
Discover a fascinating world when you visit Britain's friendliest open-air museum. Historic buildings from all around the Black Country have been moved and rebuilt at the Museum to create a tribute to the traditional skills and enterprise of the people that once lived in the heart of industrial Britain.
Meet the characters in the original shops and houses, ride on a tramcar or fairground swingboat, take a lesson in the old-fashioned school or explore the underground coalmine. It all makes for a fascinating day out for the whole family.
With a changing programme of demonstrations there is something to suit all tastes, from sweet-making and glass-cutting to metal working. Visit the horses. Enjoy a pint of ale in the Bottle and 
Glass Inn, chat by the coal-fired ranges or just soak up the atmosphere.
