Renaissance West Midlands

Renaissance West Midlands is a partnership between five regional museum services; Birmingham, Coventry, Ironbridge, Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton.

The West Midlands has a strong history of enterprise, creativity and innovation. Our challenge is to connect this history and collections with places and people to inspire and influence the future. Our vision is for museums and galleries with relevance and appeal to all people; known for excelling in the quality, care and immediacy of their collections; and vibrant, open, engaged and integrated with the life of the region and its communities.
