The last of the five galleries, Your Birmingham, focuses on the city’s development after 1945 and features a series of personal objects donated or loaned from people alongside their oral testimonies.
It is split into thematic sub-sections, exploring places, events and people.
The stories on display offer insights into what it was like to live and work in the city since 1945 to the present day.
 For instance, local poet, Benjamin Zephaniah’s typewriter can be seen in the gallery alongside an oral history in which he talks about growing up and living in Birmingham and how this influenced his career.
One of the original HP Sauce Factory signs can also be seen on display in this gallery.
 A programme of active collecting is taking place to expand the collection and enable more local people to share and feature their stories and objects in the gallery in the future.
