GET OUT OF THE OFFICE AT LUNCHTIME AND VISIT A BIRMINGHAM MUSEUM
19/02/2007
February 24 is 'Work Your Proper Hours Day' organised by the TUC. It's all about getting Britain's army of office workers away from computer screens and out into fresh air. To give you somewhere cultural to eat your sandwiches, 24 Hour Museum is pleased to present some easy to visit places in the centre of Birmingham.
Click on the museum title to find out more about opening hours, contact details and address.
Before you get out into the fresh air, just to remind your colleagues where you are off to, and why you are going, why not use this desk reminder, specially designed by the Work Your Proper Hours Team at the TUC?
Download the sign and print it out, fold in half and plonk it on your desk one way round whilst you're away at lunch, and simply switch it round at the end of the day to show you're off on time.
Right in the centre of the city, the BM&AG collections cover fine art and applied arts, archaeology and history. Make sure you check out the elegant Edwardian tearooms.
This exciting science centre, ten minutes walk from the centre of the city, offers ten galleries of historical artefacts, modern interactives and fantastic futuristic facts.
Birmingham's Central Library frequently hosts community exhibitions and special displays of archive materials - and you might even consider getting some books out too!
RBSA has an exciting programme of exhibitions by invited artists and artists entering open exhibitions, as well as a contemporary craft gallery and café.
