Our Values

three people icon

Radical Inclusion

We are more than just a public space; we are a home for the diverse stories and identities of Birmingham. We don’t just wait for people to arrive - we proactively work to break down barriers, celebrate diversity, and strive to ensure our staff, volunteers, and visitors see themselves reflected in everything we do.
We are at our best when we work as one team without ego. From ‘mucking in’ to supporting each other in a moment of need, we value the power of shared effort. We believe that no task is beneath us and no challenge is too great when we face it together.
We are the city’s storytellers, and we aren't afraid to tell the difficult ones. We remain experimental and brave, constantly asking "what if?" to find new ways to inspire joy. We use our world-class collections and sites to spark imagination and to connect to the lives of the communities we serve.
We are trusted custodians of Birmingham’s heritage and stories. We act democratically, transparently, and with heart, making sustainable choices that honour our environment and our resources. We hold ourselves accountable, ensuring that BMT remains a resilient and transparent force for good for generations to come.
