The Museum has just been awarded Heritage Lottery Funding which could increase the museum’s footprint by a third.

The £21.7million project – BCLM: Forging Ahead – is the first phase of a 40 year masterplan published by the museum.

From a business and meetings point of view, Black Country Living Museum has facilities for corporate events - for companies looking for something a ‘little bit different’.

Black Country Living Museum is available for private hire, product launches, exhibitions, exclusive evening events, corporate family days, company away days, team-building days, award ceremonies and business meetings.

Lottery funding will allow the creation of: new learning facilities; a new visitor centre and car park plus several 1940s -1960s historic developments which would see the Museum expand by up to a third.

Black Country Living Museum has also identified a few buildings across the region that it would like to translocate, recreate or replicate at the museum including a pub, shops, a hairdressers and an NHS clinic.
