Good little adventure regarding pen making. Great place for pen history.
Outstanding. Never thought pens had so much history in Birmingham. The volunteers working here are brilliant, they're enthusiastic and know their pens. You can get hands on and make your own pen nibs, have a go at writing with old pens and kids can dress up and see what it was like at school in the old days.
Absolutely loved this museum, definitely worth a visit. Plenty of facts about how at one time, anything written anywhere in the world, was written by a pen nib manufactured in Birmingham. The volunteers who run it, obviously enjoy it, especially Larry who explained the nib making process as he helped us make our own nib. You can also leave a donation in one of their tins and purchase items in the small gift shop.
I love this place! Some beautiful cabinet displays. That visitors can produce their own nibs is a great idea. It was my first visit to the museum and I will definitely come again.Sally JonesTauntonSomerset
A small and quaint (but informative) museum about what was once a thriving pen industry in Birmingham. The ticket price was not expensive and kids under 16 go in for free. Salute to the volunteers (?) who were very helpful throughout the visit.
