Dudley Museum and Art Gallery provides a glimpse into Dudley's varied history and heritage. Local heroes like footballing legend Duncan Edwards can be seen side by side the museum's geological collection, which includes over 15,000 fossil, rock and mineral specimens.
The museum houses an interesting collection of 19th and 20th century oil paintings, drawings and watercolours, including collections of work by Percy Shakespeare; whilst also providing an important platform for new artists, community groups and societies to exhibit work.
The current Vikings & Saxons and the dinosaurs exhibitions are always popular with the younger visitors and the museum also provides an extensive educational programme - for students of all ages and levels.
