Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery has announced that its newest major exhibition will celebrate hometown hero, Ozzy Osbourne.

Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero will showcase the solo achievements and global awards of the rock icon, as well as the album art of the original Black Sabbath lineup.

The collection coincides with the group’s final ever homecoming concert at villa park on Sat 5 Jul.

Running Wed 25 Jun – Sun 28 Sep, the free-to-enter exhibition celebrates Ozzy’s most prestigious international honours including Grammy Awards, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame accolades, MTV awards, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars honours and a selection of his platinum and gold discs which recognise millions of global record sales.

Photography and video that charts Osbourne’s journey from “a working-class kid from Aston” to becoming one of the world’s most recognisable figures in music also form part of the collection.

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, Aston Villa F.C. and West Midlands Growth Company.
