The Argentium Project: Exploring New Avenues for Silver Design at the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery (BMAG) from the 22nd September 2009 – 21st February 2010 is described as:

“A fascinating display in the metalwork gallery at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, which brings together new research and creative work by Kristina Niedderer. She explores the revolutionary new silver alloy, Argentium© through hand work and modern machine techniques. Kristina has created a range of objects combining the use of Argentium© Sterling Silver and laser welding which test and extend traditional craft practice.”
Information about access for disabled people can be found on the BMAG website as can a map of Blue Badge parking in Birmingham City Centre.
