Birmingham and Midland Institute
The Birmingham and Midland Institute (BMI) was originally founded in 1854 for the “Diffusion and Advancement of Science, Literature and Art amongst all Classes of Persons resident in Birmingham and Midland Counties.” During the nineteenth century, the BMI played an important role in scientific and technical education in Birmingham, and the Philosophical Institute, Midlands Institute, Mechanics’ Institution, and Birmingham Society of Arts came together to form a new organization to bring together their shared aims and objectives.
