When Polaroid Black and White Film Meets an Open-Air Museum

📍 Black Country Living Museum From Birmingham, it's about a 30-minute drive🚗 or a 20-minute train ride from the city center, followed by a bus or a walk🚌. Admission prices: Adults £25.95💷, students can purchase tickets at £22.95 with a student ID (£). (You can buy tickets on-site, and the ticket seller will ask if you need a single-day ticket—depending on your plans.) The place looks large but can be explored in a short time without tiring your feet. There are benches along the way if you need to rest. The town is styled like the last century, with staff in period-appropriate attire in each shop (almost like NPCs). The mine cottage near the entrance offers an immersive experience (check the time slots at the entrance). The underground mine is dark and easy to bump your head, even with a hard hat. The miner's lamp isn't very bright, so it's best not to use your phone for light (as mentioned by the NPC at the start). Just follow the person in front, and you'll be fine. The tour lasts about 20 minutes, but the experience is truly exceptional. Highly recommended!🌟 In areas requiring performances (like the town's school), the NPCs have strong acting skills and a great sense of immersion, with plenty of improvisation. It feels like being transported back to your school days. Sometimes, you might encounter random NPCs chatting or wandering around. When I was taking Polaroid photos, one NPC stopped me, amazed by the camera's unique look. I got showered with "incredible" and "amazing" comments🤣. They even called another passing NPC to see my camera and photos. We chatted about where I'm from and my future travel plans—it was a very relaxed and friendly interaction. The town is also a filming location for Peaky Blinders, with some recognizable scenes. The souvenir shop at the entrance sells related merchandise for fans to check out. The entire visit can be completed in half a day. There are pubs and shops within the town where you can place orders. Note the limited time slots for some activities and check the information boards at the entrance. #Travelogue #ScenicViews #Birmingham #BirminghamLife #UK #Polaroid #VintagePolaroid #PolaroidInstantCamera #PolaroidFilm
