The Institute is located in the Civil Rights District, which includes the historic 16th Street Baptist Church, Kelly Ingram Park, Fourth Avenue Business District, and the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame located in the Carver Theatre. The Institute opened in November 1992, and had more than 25,000 visitors during its first week. The Institute shows Birmingham's pride in its history and its dedication to progress and unity for the future. The Institute showcases a walking journey through the "living institution", which displays the lessons of the past as a positive way to chart new directions for the future. The permanent exhibitions are a self-directed journey through Birmingham's contributions to the Civil Rights Movement and human rights struggles. Multimedia exhibitions focus on the history of African-American life and the struggle for civil rights. The Oral History Project, one of the museum's multimedia exhibits, documents Birmingham's role in the Civil Rights Movement through the voices of movement participants. The archives of the Institute serve as a national resource for educators and researchers. They are a repository for the collection and preservation of civil rights documents and artifacts. The archival information system is computer-linked to the Birmingham Public Library and is a vital component of the Archives Division. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is also a community resource for meetings, seminars and workshops. A Community Meeting Room is available to local organizations. #4 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Birmingham Museum of Art Birmingham AL ~0.28 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Birmingham Museum of Art #5 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Downtown Birmingham (Neighborhood) Birmingham AL ~0.34 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Downtown Birmingham #6 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame Birmingham AL ~0.36 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame #7 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Alabama Theater Birmingham AL ~0.44 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Alabama Theater #8 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex Birmingham AL ~0.45 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex The Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (formerly Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center) is a sports, convention and entertainment complex located in Birmingham, Alabama. It consists of a 17,000 seat arena, a 3,000 seat concert hall, a 220,000 square foot (20,440 m²) exhibition hall, a 1,000 seat theater and various banquet and meeting rooms and other facilities. The Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center was designed by Geddes Brecher Qualls Cunningham, the winner of what was, at the time, the largest open architectural competition ever organized by the American Institute of Architects. The original facility was built between 1974 and 1976 for approximately $104 million USD. A critical component of the competition program was making a viable connection across the elevated I-59/I-20 highway from the Civic Center facility to the existing administrative and cultural facilities surrounding Linn Park to the south. No satisfactory solution to that problem has ever been carried out. Part of Birmingham's "City Center Master Plan" envisions replacing the existing elevated highway with a below-grade corridor which would simplify interstate access to the downtown area, mitigate the noise and visual effects of highway traffic, and allow for a landscaped plaza to bridge over the highway. If carried out, this plan would finally create the connection between the BJCC and Linn Park. A major expansion of the BJCC is currently underway. Ground breaking was held on July 21,2009 for a new multi-purpose convention facility/stadium. On December 17, 2008 the Civic Center Authority Board unanimously chose Populous (formerly HOK Sport Venue Event) to design the city's $550 million facility. The stadium is tentatively scheduled for a 2014 opening.Groundbreaking for Birmingham's dome facility #9 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Us Defense Contract Mgmt 1910 3rd Ave N # 201 Birmingham AL - 205-716-7402 ~0.46 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Us Defense Contract Mgmt #10 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Alabama Sports Hall of Fame Birmingham AL ~0.48 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Alabama Sports Hall of Fame #11 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham McWane Science Center Birmingham al ~0.49 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to McWane Science Center #12 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Space One Eleven 2409 2nd Ave N Birmingham AL - 205-328-0533 ~0.82 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Space One Eleven #13 of 30 Things To Do in Birmingham Alabama Museum of Health Sciences Birmingham AL ~1.33 miles from Birmingham city center Hotels Close to Alabama Museum of Health Sciences The Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences was opened and dedicated at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1975.
