Appeal For Blitz Content for New Midlands Exhibition

12 January 2026

Our Midlands Community Engagement team are looking for people to donate their stories, experiences, objects or photographs of the Blitz in the Black Country.

This will contribute to our community exhibition “The Blitz” which will explore past and present experiences of displacement. With focus on the effects of the Blitz in the Black Country and modern displacement due to the ongoing events in Ukraine.

We would like to represent local stories and experiences by using real life stories or objects to tell lived local experiences. The exhibition will be on display for approximately 2 years.

If you are interested in donating objects, please complete our online form here or email community-midlands@rafmuseum.org
