Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery have announced that they are extending their phenomenally popular Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero exhibition until September – having been visited by some 425,000 fans already.
The free exhibit will now be on display until September 27, 2026, more than a year on from its opening by Sharon Osbourne on June 25, 2025 (a week before Back To The Beginning down the road at Villa Park).
As well as a newly-unveiled tribute wall – which opened on December 3, 2025 to mark what would have been The Prince Of Darkness’ 77th birthday – Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero features some of the many awards he won over his lifetime, plus platinum and gold discs, iconic photography and more.
“We are so proud that Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery asked to extend Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero,” says Sharon, “and that more fans will now have the opportunity to go through the exhibit.”
“Central BID is extremely proud to bring this exhibition to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery with the kind support of Sharon Osbourne,” continues Sam Watson, chair of Central BID Birmingham. “The demand to see the exhibition has been phenomenal and we are very grateful that Sharon and her family have allowed us to extend the exhibition until September 2026, which will give Ozzy’s fans from the UK and around the world an opportunity to celebrate his extraordinary life and achievements.”
“The public response to the exhibition continues to show the love and affection for Ozzy in Birmingham and beyond and we are very pleased to announce that it will now be on display until September 2026,” adds Zak Mensah and Sara Wajid, co-chief executives of Birmingham Museums Trust. “We would like to express our thanks to Sharon and the rest of the Osbourne family for allowing us to continue to display this exhibition as a fitting tribute to Ozzy’s life and legacy and to enable as many people as possible to come and see it.”
Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero is open daily at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery between 10am-5pm.
