The Pen Museum celebrates the legacy of Birmingham’s 19th century steel pen trade, where mass production first made mass communication possible. Through exports this made an enormous contribution to global literacy. In effect, this is where the world learned to write. The museum is based in an 1863 Florentine Renaissance style former pen factory.
