The Ozzy Osbourne exhibition at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in Birmingham, UK has been extended due to public demand. That “Working Class Hero” showcase celebrates the late frontman’s solo achievements.

The following was said about the extension:

“We are pleased to share that due to public demand, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery’s Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero exhibition has been extended! 🖤

Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero was officially opened by Sharon Osbourne on Wednesday 25 June to coincide with the band’s historic homecoming concert at Villa Park on Saturday 5 July.

The free exhibition, developed in partnership with Central BID Birmingham, showcases Ozzy’s most prestigious international honours including Grammy Awards, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame accolades, MTV awards, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars honours and a selection of his platinum and gold discs, alongside photography and video that chart his journey from “a working-class kid from Aston” to the world’s most recognisable global rock legend.

The exhibition was due to close on Sunday 28 September 2025, but it will now be on display until Sunday 18 January to allow for more fans to see the exhibition.”

Sam Watson, chair, Central BID, commented:

“Central BID is extremely proud as curator and sponsor of the exhibition, which gives fans the chance to connect with the life and legacy of someone who never forgot where he came from. The response from the public has been phenomenal, and it’s only right that the exhibition continues so even more people can pay tribute to Ozzy’s extraordinary life.”

Zak Mensah and Sara Wajid, co-chief executives of Birmingham Museums Trust, also added:

“We are delighted to announce the extension of ‘Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero’ to the end of the year. The public response to the exhibition has been overwhelming so far, demonstrating the love and affection for Ozzy from the people of Birmingham and beyond. We would like to extend our gratitude to Sharon and the rest of the Osbourne family for allowing us to continue to display this exhibition as a fitting tribute to Ozzy’s life and legacy and to enable as many fans as possible to come and visit.”
