The Black Country Museum is quite good.
Although the Saddam Hussein mosque has lost its charm since they changed the name.

Re: Brummieland
Well there are all kinds of variations, black country isn't just an accent, it's a dialect, Birmingham accent is significantly milder. But there's also for example the Walsall accent which is somewhere inbetween.

This link is for MikeUK but might be of interest to others.

Never been there myself (aside from on the M6) but might have to make a trip one of these days.
Even the Balti Triangle is mentioned. Hope this is comment enough to avoid grinding anyone's gears
