Museum sights in Birmingham

  1. Birmingham Civil Rights Institute

    Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is the most worthwhile sight in town. Its moving audio, video and photography exhibits tell the story of racial segregation in the USA, from WWI and the Civil Rights movement to racial and human-rights issues around the world today, and it reveals the complicated and shocking layers of Birmingham's history. The media lab is a fantastic resource for further inquiry.
