Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is participating in Picture a Museum Day on Thursday March 17th.

Picture a Museum Day is a one day global event which aims to give behind the scenes access to the world's museums. The public are invited to join in by taking photographs in BMAG on that day and putting them on Flickr so that other people can see and enjoy them.

We would love our visitors to partcipate - all we ask is that you read our photography conditions and print out a 'Picture a Museum March 17' logo for the day to bring to the museum, or that you read the conditions at a reception desk and pick up your logo there. The 'Picture a Museum March 17' logo is to let museum staff know that you are participating in the day.

Read the conditions and print out your logo.

Join the Flickr group and add your images

If you use twitter please tweet about your photos and your day using the hashtag #museumpics

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery staff will also be taking some photographs on the day - so look out for some behind the scenes shots on Flickr.
