An exhibition to celebrate the solo achievements and global awards of Ozzy Osbourne has been extended to the end of 2025 at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery due to public demand.
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.
Following the death of the rock icon on 22 July 2025, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery hosted a civic book of condolence alongside the exhibition for fans to pay tribute to Ozzy’s life and legacy. The book closed on Sunday 3 August to be presented to his family.
Since the exhibition’s opening, the museum has seen over 96,000 visitors through its doors. It will now continue to be on display until the end of the year with the support of the Osbourne family.
