The Collections Care and Management Team are once again accepting donations of objects to the collection. During Covid-19 special measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of both donors and museum staff.
As such, the following process for collecting of objects will be followed.
Donating an Object to Black Country Living Museum
Before bringing or sending an object to the museum the potential donor will first need to contact the Collections Care and Management Team via one of the following ways:
Email: [email protected]
Post: Collections Care and Management Team, Black Country Living Museum, Tipton, Dudley DY1 4SQ
Phone: 0121 557 9643 – Extension 3
If anyone is approached by a member of the public with an offer of an object for the collection, can they please guide them to the collections page on the website which gives all of the information needed to be able to make an offer.
Unfortunately, any items that have not been approved via email or letter by a member of the Collections Care and Management team will not be accepted.
A list of the objects we are and are not currently collecting can be found at below for guidance, as can two workflows setting out the process of managing offers.
