Which is not individual to Birmingham, most cities are an hour away from a long list of interesting art galleries aren’t they? Although there are lots of great cultural happenings in Birmingham, it’s a shame the city doesn’t do more to make itself a destination, not a junction!

All these spaces are on your doorstep and ‘spoil you with international scope and creative use of venues’ too. Ikon is great – but it’s not alone in the city any more.

You could also consider the Nottingham Contemporary.
An hour on the train and very close to the station. I lived in Notts for 4 years and i used to love escaping to his gallery.

They detract from the serious points you make…..
