  • Using the Collections for learning

    The collections are a resource for academics and students at the University of Birmingham across a range of disciplines. We support the development of Object Based Learning (OBL) using the collections and invite you to make use of the collections and the space. Please contact us if you would like to discuss the use of collections within your teaching.
