Birmingham Seen Exhibition (19/11/09)

Colmore Business District hosted a private viewing of this new exhibition for their members in conjunction with BMAG.

This is a fascinating exhibition of paintings and photos from the last 250 years showing how our city has, and is, changing. Some really amazing exhibits including a scale model of what Centenary Square might have looked like in a 1940's idea had happened. Also the maquette of our famous Iron Man, some truly amazing photos of how the city looked across different decades and some really beautiful recent paintings of life in Birmingham today.

Thank goodness there were people who took the time and trouble to record the change and our own Library's archive for so carefully preserving so many of the exhibits.

After an hour I had only seen about half of what was on display so I will be going back - exhibiton is open until early January so get yourself along - you will not be disapointed.
