The Black Country Living Museum is an award-winning open-air museum.

Throughout its 46-year history, its aim has always been clear: Inspiring your discovery of the Black Country. The Museum ensures that the revolutionary story of the Black Country's industrial landscape – the first ever of its kind in the UK – is celebrated by generations. They are close to completing their largest development ever, with a multi-million-pound investment bringing the region's stories into the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.

Describing themselves as a heritage business, rather than a heritage service, within the intersection sweet spot between visitor attraction, museum and charity. They seek to appoint a new Director of Development and External Affairs to own income for the organisation and Prospectus is proud to be leading the search.
