Birmingham Museums Trust has announced plans to reopen Thinktank, welcoming visitors back to the award-winning science museum for the first time since closing in March 2020.
Visitors will once again be able to visit Thinktank and explore a world of wonder through exhibits and historical collections from Saturday, May 29, coinciding with the May half-term holiday. Tickets will go on sale on May 6.
Every precaution is being taken to make the experience safe and enjoyable. To ensure people can keep a safe distance from each other, capacity will be limited and all visitors including members will need to pre-book a timed ticket in advance.
Laurence Butler, Thinktank’s Museum Manager, says: “We’re delighted to be able to confirm Thinktank’s reopening date and are very much looking forward to welcoming people through our doors once again to ignite their curiosity.
