Soho House Museum — Attraction in Birmingham

Lovely , quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Volunteers were very knowledgeable and I learn about many facts regarding Soho house. There were a tall gentleman with grey hair and a lady with a beautiful flower cord over the hair and they tell us different interesting things about Lunar society , about Birmingham in that time. That make me feel proud of the city I live in.The museum looks great and take us in 17th-18th century. In every room were panels where you can read about what that room shown and other few important informations. Museum are laying on ground and first floor where you can reach by using the stairs or using the lift. On the other wing by the house is a Cafe where you can have a ground coffee,tea, cakes, fruits, drinks. You can serve it in or out in the little garden. Also, anyone can enjoying doing some crafts while having a hit/cold drink. There is a little garden and also parking, including for disabled people.

At the moment there is a focus on James Watt, Boulton's partner, as it is the 200th anniversary of his death. The house was the usual meeting place for the Lunar Society, a late 18th century group of scientists and engineers and the successor of this society is running a large programme of events to mark the anniversary. Soho House is well...

Another fascinating historical site in the Birmingham Museums collection. The home of Matthew Boulton, built next to his Soho Manufactory and the venue for the Lunar Society meetings. Recommended to those interested in the history of Birmingham and industrialism. The an hour guided tour with our knowledgeable guide was far too short - there was so much to learn and explore! Most suitable for adults and older teenagers, access currently by guided tours only, no onsite parking (check their website for details before visiting). We also saw the "Blood & Fire: Our Journey Through Vanley Burke's History" exhibition, which the local British-Jamaican community may find particularly interesting. It certainly brought memories for my mother-in-law. Entry to the exhibition is...
