Ikon adds an experimental, contemporary strand to Birmingham’s cultural visits. Exhibitions can include film, sound, painting, sculpture or installation, so the experience changes with the programme. The former school is worth noticing as you arrive, and the gallery’s scale makes it easy to give individual works time without committing to a whole museum day.
What to look for
Temporary exhibitions occupy two gallery floors.
The gallery occupies the Victorian former Oozells Street school building.
Useful to know
Look up the exhibition programme and any installation closures before visiting.
Ask for the family Art Explorer guide at reception when visiting with children.
