Museum Collections Centre, Museum storage facility in Nechells, Birmingham, England.

The Museum Collections Centre encompasses a 1.5-hectare building that houses 80 percent of Birmingham Museums Trust's stored collections in climate-controlled conditions.

The facility preserves numerous steam engines from the former Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry, along with vintage Austin, Rover, and MG motor vehicles.

The Museum in a Box program enables schools and community groups to borrow original artifacts from the collection for educational activities throughout Birmingham.

Visitors can access the center via bus number 14 from Birmingham city center to Duddeston station, followed by a 500-meter walk to the entrance.

In 2014, the center gained attention when a staff member discovered a preserved specimen of the extinct North American passenger pigeon within its collections.
