Home of Metal director calls for Black Sabbath and music museum in Birmingham
Home of Metal’s co-founder and director Lisa Meyer was recently interviewed by Birmingham World about the renewed interest from the city about Black Sabbath post Ozzy and Tony’s performance at the Common Wealth Games closing ceremony.
“For the exhibition at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery we had 24,000 visitors. So there is no doubt we have proven that there is an audience for this. People will flock to come and pay homage to the band. And it’s ever evolving, it’s not something that happened 50 years ago,” Lisa said.
“What’s come from Sabbath; you think about the heavy metal scenes in places like Indonesia, India and Brazil – metal is massive and it’s constantly evolving, so this is something which we should really lay claim to and we haven’t still. That’s my aim – to look at how we can do that and create something permanent for fans to come and visit.”
