Birmingham Museum of Art

The Birmingham Museum of Art is the principal art museum of Alabama, founded in 1951 and housed in a downtown building on the city's civic plaza. Its collection of more than twenty-five thousand objects spans the ancient world, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, with notable holdings of Italian Renaissance painting from the Samuel H. Kress bequest and the largest collection of Wedgwood ceramics outside England.

The museum hosted the touring leg of Small Treasures: Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals, and Their Contemporaries in early 2015, following its debut at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Admission to the museum is free.
