Ozzy Osbourne's iconic throne, last seen at his final gig and the "Back To The Beginning" charity concert in July last year, will be on display at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery until September 27, 2026.
The black gothic-style throne, originally built for Ozzy's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction in 2024, was last seen during his solo performance and BLACK SABBATH's final concert on July 5, 2025 at Villa Park.
With nods to the heavy metal singer's life and work, including bat wing motifs, it is a poignant reminder of Ozzy as fans prepare to mark the first year since he died on July 22, 2025.
Visitors can see Ozzy's remarkable journey from his upbringing in Aston to becoming one of the most influential and recognizable figures in rock music.
Curated by Central BID Birmingham and Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in collaboration with the Osbourne family, the exhibition has been extended twice and welcomed over 640,000 visitors since it opened in June 2025.
Sharon Osbourne said: "As we approach the one-year anniversary of 'Back To The Beginning', it feels fitting that Ozzy's throne, which has now become synonymous with his final performance, would be placed in the museum, where it can be seen by the fans who loved him." Sara Wajid and Zak Mensah, co-chief executives at Birmingham Museums Trust, said: "We are delighted to be able to display Ozzy's throne at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.
This extraordinary object is instantly recognizable to fans around the world and represents a powerful final chapter in Ozzy's remarkable career.", Sam Watson, chair of Central BID Birmingham, said: "Since the momentous 'Back To The Beginning' gig last year, Central BID has been working closely with the Osbourne family to bring Ozzy's throne back to Birmingham, so fans can see it up close and feel the spirit of Ozzy is still with everyone." Councillor Deborah Harries, Birmingham City Council Cabinet Member for Culture, said: "Ozzy Osbourne is one of Birmingham's most foremost cultural figures, and it is only right that we continue to honor his extraordinary legacy here in the city where his journey began.", The return of his iconic throne to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery gives fans and visitors a powerful new way to connect with his story at what is an emotional moment, marking a year since his passing.
