As part of Birmingham Heritage Week, discover the journey of the site from back-to-back housing to being transformed into a state of the art manufactory in 1894 and then a museum in 2014.

Strip back the layers of the building on a guided tour that allows you to see the museum from a different perspective.

Our ‘Architec-tour’ has been designed by an architect who’s knowledge and skills of historical buildings shines a whole new light on our factory. By taking a closer look at the details in the building fabric itself, we can determine what their priorities were, how the building has survived this long and what makes it stand our from the crowd. From the arched lintels, to the curiously located toilets; there’s a lot to discover!

For those of you who’ve been to the Coffin Works before, this is completely different to our usual tour so do come along and explore something new and exciting.

For all architecture admirers, this tour pays attention to the detail behind the Victorian ingenious design of the Newman Brothers’ factory.

The tour will be at 12pm on Sunday 15th September and will last around 45 minutes to an hour.

Our Cafe will be open on the day selling a range of refreshments.
