Ikon Gallery stands out as Birmingham's premier contemporary art venue, featuring beautiful, functional modern design complemented by a charming old-fashioned private school aesthetic With a stunning curation. Worth a visit, definitely!

A short tram ride out of the city center, but this is a wonderful little contemporary art space. The choice of shows is always at the very least interesting, and the staff are helpful and friendly.

Donald Locke exhibition at the Ikon Gallery 😁 First time at a his cool gallery 😁 Easy trip getting to and great design with both old and modern architecture 😁 The exhibits really stand out on the white walls 😁 Knowledgeable people in attendance who were willing to discuss the artwork. Fascinating exhibition 😁 Great little bookshop too. Free entry but donations gratefully accepted 😁

I think that this gallery probably has a relatively small collection and their reliant on visiting artist exhibitions for the majority of what they show. Arts are very personalized and you may really enjoy the current exhibit. It wasn’t a very good match for me. I would recommend that you. Check the website before you make the trip to make sure it’s going to be something that you’ll enjoy. There is a lot of construction in downtown. Birmingham and parking is really a bit of a nuisance. The gallery is free
