  • Encourage exploration of the region

The STAND WITH VULCAN license plate costs $50. Of this amount, $41.25 directly benefits Vulcan Park Foundation—the organization that keeps Vulcan Park and Museum thriving.

2. Vulcans on Parade

We all love the OG Vulcan that stands atop Red Mountain. But it’s hard to resist the many other Vulcan statues that continue to pop up at different locations around Birmingham. 

Each statue is part of Vulcans on Parade—an art installation that features individually painted fiberglass replicas of Birmingham’s infamous Vulcan statue. 

Debuted in 2015, the project was designed to highlight visitor attractions in the area.

Who’s behind it? The answer is Vulcan Park and Museum’s Junior Board. The mission of the Junior Board is to support the mission, needs and overall promotion of Vulcan Park and Museum. The Vulcan on Parades project is an extension of that.

Pre-commit now to purchase the STAND WITH VULCAN specialty license plate to provide valuable funding to support Vulcan Park and Museum’s mission to promote Vulcan as the symbol for the Birmingham region.

3. Vulcan Park and Museum remains beautiful and accessible
