Black Country Living Museum

Step back in time and immerse your students in the rich industrial heritage of the West Midlands at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley.

This open-air museum offers a tangible journey through history, allowing students to experience firsthand the sights, sounds, and smells of the past. Spread across 26 acres, the museum showcases meticulously recreated shops, houses, and industrial areas that paint a vivid picture of life during the Industrial Revolution.

Authentic demonstrations, from chain making to coal mining, provide invaluable insights into the trades and crafts that shaped the region. 

Moreover, costumed actors bring the era to life, offering engaging narratives and interactive discussions that align with History, Geography, and Social Studies curricula.

The museum's commitment to hands-on, experiential learning makes it a prime destination for educational trips.
