The tour around the museum during the Macabre Museum evening was very well conducted. All of the talkers had some very interesting facts about cases that are not quite as well documented in the news. Overall, an amazing evening! Well done all involved!

Went to look at some of the archive material as part of Heritage Weekend which is usually kept in the stores. Fascinating visit with lovely guide called Lynn who was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. Wish the visit could have been longer.Will definitely go back to look around the building. Great place

I visited the Museum yesterday, 15/9, for the Heritage Open Day Collections Store tour and it was excellent.
The tour was to show some of the exhibits that are not on public display due to their rarity, and it did not disappoint.
From Police Orders ledgers dating from the early 1800's to more modern but now defunct equipment all were fascinating to see.
Our tour guide, Eileen, was friendly and knowledgeable and ever ready to answer our questions.
While this tour is well worth taking on its own if you can spare the time to couple it with a tour of the full museum, guided or by yourself, you will enjoy it even more.
Highly recommended.

This was my first visit to the museum. It is housed in a really cool building. The people telling the stories were very knowledgeable. I was especially impressed with the girl talking about the Coventry bombing. She was only a teenager and at least 20 years younger than everyone else talking but still did a great job.
I look forward to being able to come back and find out more about the context of the building on a normal opening day, because some areas were closed for this special event.

The museum itself is the former Steelhouse Lane police station and I didn't realise the extent of the the cells - it is like a small prison. Some introduction and context would have been appropriate. You are taken through a museum visitor experience consisting mainly of moving in a small group from cell to cell where a true-life story is narrated by a volunteer in uniform/dress. The cells are small and quite claustrophobic, which adds authenticity. Volunteers are both ex-police officers and civilian. Some of the tales or mock-ups lack a certain gravitas and need more rehearsal and self-confidence on the part of the volunteers. The IRA bomb in Coventry, in 1939, was the theme in one cell, a tragedy that has perhaps been overlooked in the wake of the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings. The Birmingham bombings were acknowledged but the narrator mistakenly, and hastily refered to 20 people who died instead of the 21 - an example where the facts have got to be correct for such tragedies. The exhibits and stories are interesting; and indeed macabre. The shop has interesting merchandise including a range of books. The overall visitor experience is interesting and quite creative but needs a little more cohesion, context and rehearsal in some areas. Worth a visit.

We visited on Saturday 19th Aug, it's a brilliant museum, it may not be huge but there's so much history to read and see. The staff were excellent, they couldn't do enough for you. They all knew so much about the museum and it was really interesting listening to them. We Highley recommend this museum. Thank you especially to the lady we were talking to on the bottom floor at the cafe, so sorry we didn't get your name, but we could have listened to you all day.

I found this while out walking back to the hotel in the rain and glad I went in. They have quite a lot of original police memorabilia including two motorcycles, the first camera used to take photographs and the police helmet with a flashing blue light on top! Children can dress up and you can solve a crime or two while going round. Two hours flew by.

Is it wheelchair accessible?
StewartEm
Wolverhampton, UK29 مساهمة
Yes as far as I could see, but I'm not a wheelchair user. There's a modern lift to all floors and a wheelchair accessible toilet.
Wheelchair entry is up the side in Coleridge Passage.
Details of accessibility are on their website under the visit tab. Sorry TripAdvisor won't let me add the url. The website is museum.west-midlands.police.uk
I would give them a call on 0121 609 1700 if you've got any specific requirements.
Enjoy your visit, it's an interesting place with helpful staff.

Yes, there are toilets.
It doesn’t matter if you are a little late - in fact, you avoid the queues this way! 🤣
