Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox museum The Museum Collection Centre (MCC) in Nechells, Birmingham, England, is a Шаблон:Convert building that holds 80% of Birmingham Museums Trust's stored collections under one roof. It is one of the UK's largest museum stores.[1] Among the thousands of objects stored there are steam engines (many of which are from the former Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry), sculptures, a collection of Austin, Rover and MG motor cars, a red phone box and a Sinclair C5.
It opens to the public monthly, or by arrangement. There are also other open days, which tend to take place during the Spring and Summer Bank Holidays.[2]
The Museum Collection Centre is also home to The Museum in a Box service which enables schools and community groups to borrow original artefacts.
In September 2014 then-trainee curator Lukas Large uncovered a taxidermied specimen of the long-extinct North American passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) in the collection.[3]
