In 2010 the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum celebrates 50 years since it opened to the public on Wednesday 9^th March 1960. 

To celebrate, we are hosting a selection of special events including a display of objects in the covered court, reflecting 50 years of collecting, as chosen by members of staff and trustees.

We'll also be re-launching our Friends scheme, offering film screenings for parents – Reel Parents – and dedicating the last Saturday of the month to offering free activities for families and adults.

Furthermore, there will be an anniversary press day in March and a landmark event for staff, trustees, partners and stakeholders in September.
