An exhibition celebrating the solo achievements and global awards of Ozzy Osbourne at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery has been extended to September 2026 due to continuing public demand.

Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero was officially opened by Sharon Osbourne on 25 June 2025 to coincide with the rock icon’s final performance at the historic Back to the Beginning homecoming concert at Villa Park.

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.

A tribute wall, consisting of 77 messages chosen from over 50,000 tributes left by fans in the book of condolence hosted by the museum and at other sites across the city after Ozzy’s death on 22 July, was unveiled in the exhibition on 3 December on what would have been his 77th birthday.

Hundreds more of the messages are being shown as part of a film in the exhibition which also includes footage of the tens of thousands of people who lined the streets to say their final goodbye when the funeral cortege passed through Birmingham city centre.

Since the exhibition’s opening, the museum has seen over 425,000 visitors through its doors. Originally planned to be on display until September 2025, the exhibition was initially extended to 18 January 2026 due to its popularity. It will now be open until 27 September 2026 thanks to the continued support of the Osbourne family.

Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero is an exhibition by Central BID Birmingham, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and Sharon Osbourne Management sponsored by Ocean Outdoor and supported by Birmingham City Council and Aston Villa FC.
