Opening date announced for major Birmingham attraction

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery will reopen its history galleries to the public on Friday, May 2, 2025, after a five-year closure that began during the pandemic. The 850-square-meter refurbished exhibition chronicles Birmingham's history from medieval times to the present day, featuring unique objects and installations. The phased reopening of the museum began in October 2024, and the history galleries were developed with support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

State museum exhibits piece of DeWitt County

An original painted ceiling tile from the historic DeWitt County Courthouse, built in 1896, has been loaned to the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. The DeWitt County Commissioners Court approved a 10-month loan agreement in late April, with the tile on display from May 1 through January 31, 2027. The tile, valued at $3,000, was discovered hidden in the courthouse attic before its 2007 restoration and is now featured in the museum's Texas Art Gallery as part of an exhibit celebrating Texas courthouse architecture.
