Gas Hall
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
31 October 2009 - 3 January 2010

This exhibition explores the way in which Birmingham's physical and social landscape has been depicted in paintings, drawings and photographs since 1820. I reveals the city in the throes of constant change - a process of creation and destruction that has inspired generations of artits and photographers. It brings together work from Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery's collections, Birmingham Central Library's photography collections. Many of the works brought together for this shown are being exhibited for the first time.
