The Black Country Living Museum has today announced the appointment of Buckinghamshire-based Napier Clarke Architects
to design an ambitious new Visitor Centre. The Visitor Centre is the central aspect of the new Visitor Welcome that the Museum
will create as part of the project. Not only will it allow BCLM to turn its face to Castle Hill and create a physical link between the
Museum and the other attractions at Castle Hill (including Dudley Zoo, Castle and Canal Trust) but it will be the welcome point
for up to 5,000 visitors per day as visitor numbers grow to almost 500,000 per year upon completion of the project. It will also
house an introductory exhibition and substantial food & drink and retail outlets, enabling the Museum’s current Rolfe Street entrance
building to be repurposed as a dedicated Learning Centre. Click here to see more.
