The British Motor Museum has been shortlisted as a finalist

The British Motor Museum has been shortlisted as a finalist in the prestigious West Midlands Tourism Awards 2025. The property has been nominated for the Accessible and Inclusive Tourism Award category, and the team will find out if they have won at a special ceremony in early 2025. The awards celebrate the success and accomplishments of tourism businesses across the West Midlands region, promoting the impressive strength of their services, venues, people, experiences and accommodation. 

The Museum is proud of its continuous work to incorporate accessibility and inclusivity into all its activities, from conception to execution. The recent addition of the ‘Austin and Morris’ Office displays, with holographic presentations, is a key example of this. Both historic offices are equipped with a tablet, which subtitles the speeches given in the offices, and the displays are equipped with induction loops to support people with hearing aids. Additionally, the Museum hosts accessible school and community visits and runs a Travel Support Fund. 

The Touch and Access Tours and Object Handling workshops also allow anyone to interact with the cars and objects on display. More recently, the Community team has expanded its external relationships, notably visiting Warm Hubs for the first time, to give people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to see the Museum the chance to engage with the collections.
