This public workshop (duration 2 hours) allows you to get up close and personal with original 18th-century letters from the archives at the Library of Birmingham. You will explore their uses as rich historical sources, and work together on transcription exercises. Don't worry about reading old handwriting - you'll receive palaeography tips and tricks from an historian along the way. You will also be introduced, and have the opportunity to contribute, to a research project on historical letters and the body which is currently underway at the University of Birmingham. This workshop is in collaboration with the team from 'Material Identities, Social Bodies: Embodiment in British Letters, c.1680-1820', a project based in the School of History and Cultures at the University of Birmingham. An academic from the project will be leading the workshop. The workshop will be held in Archives & Collections on level 4 of the Library of Birmingham.

Most serene experience that I&rsquo;ve had in a while. Felt amazing to be there amongst the best books and pages in history. It&rsquo;s a surreal experience indeed to be there and bask in the beauty of the place. The rooftop is beautiful.

Centenary Square

It is not the most famous place in the UK, but the city is still very modern. The air in the city is also great. It is a very suitable place to live! There are various shops on both sides of the road. Very good to visit!

We made a dedicated trip and had a lovely few hours. There was lots to see with split levels that kept your interest. The penguins were nice, the octopus made an appearance and we would have loved to see more of the otters., we see the otters.. There is plenty to see, read and touch. My grand daughter loved it all, the turtle in the tunnel is beautiful . It was clean, and we had a great time, would definitely go back, staff were helpful,its really nice and deserve to be visited again and again.

For a smaller town the Art Museum as great. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it if you are traveling to Birmingham. Make sure to call ahead to see if they are open.

Chinese Quarter

There are Chinese Super League, restaurants, and many other specialty restaurants to choose from.
It&#39;s not hard to find something to eat here.
However, the food at this restaurant was a bit disappointing.

Victoria Square, Birmingham

放飞自我去游玩

After we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, we had a big meal at a Michelin one-star restaurant, and then we began to get to know the city. First we came to Victoria Square, where a building imitating a Greek temple caught our eye. It turned out to be their town hall. Next to it was a beautiful Baroque building, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which was also free to visit. So we went in for a stroll. There were not many people, and the exhibits were quite rich, ranging from ancient Egypt to current art.
