Features

The Pen Museum was opened on April 28th 2001 as the Pen Room by the founders Brian Jones, Larry Hanks, Colin Giles, and Ray Handley. Based in the Argent Centre, a former Pen factory the founders set about preserving the legacy of the pen trade through a collection of steel pen nibs and family stories.
The Pen Museum is a certified independent museum, thanks to the hard work of our volunteer team the museum continues to promote and preserve the important legacy of Birmingham’s pen trade, which, at its height employed an estimated 8,000 workers, of which 70% were women.
The Museum’s exhibition displays are complimented by trails, videos and interactive equipment that help bring to life the history of one of Birmingham’s most famous industries and to narrate the lives of entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and workers whose expertise placed Birmingham at the centre of this worldwide trade.
The Museum relies on its loyal and dedicated team of volunteers to help support our Museum Manager in running the Pen Museum and keeping it open to visitors.
