Our Exhibitions
The Museum's main exhibition area is at the entrance in what is known as the Rolfe Street Building. This major new complex provides much needed exhibition halls, educational facilities, resource centres, specialist museum stores and visitor amenities.
The exhibition spaces are within the structure of an 1888 swimming baths complex which was built in Rolfe Street in Smethwick. The impressive facade with its terracotta and moulded brickwork houses the archive centre, the modern glazed entrance leads into the Hall of Fame and two exhibition halls where the original massive cast-iron arches support the roofs which once spanned the swimming pools. The main exhibition introduces visitors to the unique character and complex nature of the Black Country boroughs.
Local people have helped to gather information for the displays and the computerised information system enables more information to be added.
The second half of the exhibition can be used for temporary displays or as currently displayed 'Cars and Bikes of Wolverhampton'.
