Ozzy Osbourne’s iconic throne, last seen at the Back to the Beginning concert, will be on display at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in his home city to coincide with the anniversary of his final gig and his death in July last year.

The black Gothic-style throne will be a special addition to the free exhibition Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero from Wednesday 1 July 2026.

Originally built for Ozzy’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2024, the throne was last seen during his solo performance and Black Sabbath’s final concert on 5 July 2025 at Villa Park.

With nods to the heavy metal singer’s life and work, including bat wing motifs, it is a poignant reminder of Ozzy as fans prepare to mark the first year since he died on 22 July 2025.

The throne joins a wide range of personal memorabilia, photographs and lifetime of awards in the exhibition which celebrates the life, music and cultural impact of the Birmingham-born global rock icon.

Visitors can see Ozzy’s remarkable journey from his upbringing in Aston to becoming one of the most influential and recognisable figures in rock music.

Curated by Central BID Birmingham and Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in collaboration with the Osbourne family, the exhibition has been extended twice and welcomed over 640,000 visitors since it opened in June 2025. Due to popular demand, it now runs until Sunday 27 September 2026.

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.
