Pen Museum

Pen Museum is a unique place in Birmingham that takes visitors into the fascinating world of nib production. In the 19th century, the city supplied as much as 75% of the world's pen production!

At this interactive museum, visitors can make nibs with their own hands on original Victorian-era machines, try writing with a goose pen, practice calligraphy or learn the secrets of graphology.

Impressive displays, including William Mitchell's famous Pyramid or Joseph Gillott's Rose, take a look at the rich history of the craft that revolutionized world writing.
