Museum Collections Centre

The Mrs and I went round to the Museums Collection Centre (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) today, as they had one of their seldom open days. This is where the BMAG stores parts of their collection that arent currently on display, and believe you me there is shitloads of random stuff there. Mostly engines and machinery from long-gone factories, but also swathes of taxidermy, ceramics, models and artifacts of everyday life. As a "bikie", I found the old Brummie bicycles of particular interest, have a gander at what we found.






Early front-geared bike.






Italian moped.



Sweet sidecar!











Any ideas what this is? Single-speed tricycle?
