Collections: The principal part of the Natural History collection at Tamworth Castle was gifted to Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery in the late 1980's. The only items retained were a cased pike, barn owl (cased) a few antlers and head of beasts, a mounted Sparrowhawk, a couple of small mammals, some mosses from Warwickshire and a small collection of gemstones.
Access: Access is limited to those items on gallery display and those in the collection which are in store and could be used for research purposes.
Key Issues: There has been a long period of neglect on the collections and this is now being addressed.
