Built around the preserved workshops and offices of Smith
& Pepper, a Birmingham jewellery firm, the award-winning
Museum of the Jewellery Quarter offers a fascinating insight
into the city's historic jewellery trade.
Visitors can enjoy a guided
tour around the perfectly preserved 'time capsule' factory
- little changed since the beginning of the century -
and see a skilled jeweller at work.
In addition to the factory tour, the Museum's exhibition
galleries tell the story of the Quarter and the jeweller's
craft which has been practised in this distinctive part
of Birmingham for over 200 years.
The museum brings the story right up to date by showcasing
jewellery made by some of the city's most exciting contemporary
designers.
