Vulcan Park and Museum is home to the world’s largest cast iron statue and features spectacular panoramic views of Birmingham. We tell the story of Birmingham’s past, present and promise for the future. Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and forge, was originally built in 1904 for the St. Louis World’s Fair to represent Birmingham’s iron industry. The newly renovated Vulcan Park and Museum sits atop Red Mountain with Vulcan standing 124 feet off the mountain on his original 1938 pedestal. A 10-acre urban green space surrounds the 56’ high statue and open-air observation balcony. Visitors find interactive exhibits and displays that give insight into the region’s geology, history and industrial growth. Groups welcome, free parking.
