An Ozzy Osbourne exhibition has been extended at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in England due to public demand.
Following the death of the rock icon on 22 July, the museum in his hometown of Birmingham has extended its Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero exhibition through the rest of 2025.
Officially opened by Sharon Osbourne on 25 June and due to close on 28 September, the free exhibition celebrates the solo achievements and global awards of Osbourne.
It was launched to coincide with Black Sabbath’s farewell concert at Villa Park on 5 July. Osbourne died two weeks later.
Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero was developed in partnership with Central BID Birmingham and showcases some of Osbourne’s most prestigious international honours.
These 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.

“We would like to extend our gratitude 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 fans as possible to come and visit.”
Since the exhibition opened in June, the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery has welcomed more than 96,000 visitors.
It will remain on display with the support of the Osbourne family.
When launching the exhibition, Sharon Osbourne said: “This exhibition is a real celebration of everything Ozzy has achieved and the city that made him. We’re absolutely thrilled to share it with the fans – Birmingham, this one’s for you.”
