This exhibition, loaned from Selly Manor in Birmingham, explores aspects of Tudor life and has been created in collaboration with young artists of Black Heritage from the West Midlands and supported by West Midlands Museum Development. The Black Tudors project was inspired by the only known image of a Black Tudor – John Blanke, a royal trumpeter for Henry VIII, and Miranda Kaufmann’s book ‘Black Tudors: The Untold Story’. The artists responded to the ‘Black Tudors’ from Kaufmann’s 2017 publication, telling their stories and creating visual representation. Come and see their work and find out more about this wonderful project!

This exhibition will be at Tudor House Museum (in the Tudor Room*) from Wednesday 23rd October until Thursday 7th November 2024 during our normal opening hours – Wednesday – Saturday 10am-4pm.

*Only stair access to the Tudor Room.
