Birmingham Pen Trade Heritage Association

Who we are

The Pen Museum seeks to promote and preserve the history and legacy of the steel Pen Trade in Birmingham, for the advancement of the education and benefit of the public. The Museum showcases the skill and craftsmanship of the Pen Makers and their employees and also houses historic artefacts and ephemera related to the art of writing. The Museum was established in 2001 and our dedicated team of volunteers was awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2016. We are intending to establish a new legal status in 2017 with the charity operating the Museum converting to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
