Outstanding small art gallery with a wide selection of works including ones by Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso. There is a programme of activities for children and young people and the community. There is also a concert hall with a programme of concerts including the Birmingham International Piano Festival. I attended a show highlighting LBGT history month.

This is a lovely gallery, very interesting and a relaxing experience to explore at your leisure. It’s fair to say that it’s something of a hidden gem.

The Barber Institute is located in south west Birmingham approximately 3 miles from the city centre at the East Gate of the University of Birmingham. Admission to the Galleries is free. There are frequent buses (61 and 63) from the city centre (outside Bullring shopping centre) along the Bristol Road to the bottom of Edgbaston Park Road. Local trains run from Birmingham New Street to University station, a 10 minute walk from the Barber.
Housed in a Grade II* listed Art Deco building designed by Robert Atkinson, the Barber Institute has an outstanding collection which includes Rossetti, Rodin, Degas, Monet, Botticelli and Rubens.
I really enjoyed my recent visit and I am planning another visit soon.

If you are around the University you can’t miss visiting The Barber Institute! One good reason is that I don’t think it is possible to see some Boticelli, Van Gogh, Rodin, Monet and other finest artists, free admission out there.
We’re privileged and visiting The Barber Institute has to be in the list of things to do in Birmingham.
Founded in 1932, this internationally renowned gallery is home of impressive art collection. The building is an invitation for those who appreciate a classical architecture. The first floor is a marble salon where you can find a tiny and cozy shop.
On the second floor you can find all exhibitions held in the place, drawings, sculptures, as well as a valuable collection of Roman, Byzantine and Medieval coins.
As any other fine gallery, The Barber Institute is an invitation to contemplate the most important works in canvas. They also offer workshops and other art related activities during the year.

The Barber Institute is a small art gallery and concert venue located on the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston Campus.
It has a staggering collection of impressionist and 18th century paintings, all displayed in the tiny, bright and airy gallery.
I remember visiting the gallery as a child and seeing a painting that really struck a chord with me. I returned to the gallery a few years back and couldn’t see the painting. I spoke to a member of staff and asked where I could find it. She actually took me into the museum store to see it. It was such a special moment and it has shaped the way I see the Barber Institute. It is a very special place.
One of my mates was lucky enough to work in the Barber Institute library a few years ago. He’d come back from work with tales of hearing organ recitals and choral concerts whilst sitting at his desk. The lucky boy!

Ok, my disclaimer: I studied for my Masters in the Birmingham History of Art dept., situated in the Barber’s basement. This is a great gallery, with a particularly strong collection of Dutch landscapes, and a well-​edited collection of Italian masters and late Impressionist paintings. The building is a lovely example of Art Deco architecture, and I can say from direct experience that the staff are knowledgeable and extremely friendly! Worth getting the train out of the city centre for (go to the University stop, from New Street). It’s free, too!

Nestled away inside the Birmingham uni campus, directly opposite King Edward’s Boys School on Edgbaston Park Road, the Barber Institute must be on a ‘to-​do’ list for any budding Birmingham artists. With a wide range of art on display as cited by the other reviews here, you really won’t be disappointed, and with free entry you cannot complain!
The assistants, receptionists are very helpful, and if you do have any specific queries, they are willing to help you.
It’s only about a five minute drive from the city, and you’d be best getting either one of the 60’s busses from town and walking up from Bristol road, or getting the train to Birmingham uni station. Either way, its just behind the East Wing entrance to the uni, and definitely check out the spectacular marble staircase when you are there!

The Barber is a rather small art gallery, but they have an impressive collection.
Quoted from their website: «Among the artists represented are Bellini, Botticelli, Holbein, Veronese, Stom, Baschenis, Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Poussin, Gainsborough, Turner, Delacroix, Ingres, Rossetti, Whistler, Manet, Degas, Monet, van Gogh, Rodin, Gauguin, Picasso, Matisse, Magritte, and Schiele.»
I mean, an original van Gogh right there on the wall. It’s not hidden behind glass or anything.
And there is no entry fee. If you spend much time at all around Birmingham, then you have to be a philistine not to go.

Set in the sylvan campus of the University of Birmingham, the Barber Institute of Fine Arts is renowned for its collection of paintings which, while small in scale, is exceptional in quality.
The building itself, opened in 1939, is a wonderful example of red-​brick art deco, which received a bronze medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1946. The interior gallery spaces are both intimate and beautifully lit.
Spanning the 13th to 20th centuries, the collection is notable for its Old Masters and Impressionists, but for me it is the religious works of art from the mediaeval and renaissance period which set it apart (and they sell a beautiful range of cards depicting a selection of the works). There is also a collection of world coins and an active programme of high-​brow modern and classical music in its 350-​seat auditorium, and regular public lectures (see web-​site for details).
The museum has level access and accessible toilets.

The Barber Institute of Fine Arts contains one of the finest small collections of European art in the UK. Featuring works from the 13th to the 20th century, it is a near-​perfect gathering of some of the most influential artists of the previous millennium. Its particular strengths lie in its Old Master and Impressionist collections.
Amongst the artists represented are Bellini, Botticelli, Holbein, Veronese, Stom, Baschenis, Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Poussin, Gainsborough, Turner, Delacroix, Ingres, Rossetti, Whistler, Manet, Degas, Monet, van Gogh, Rodin, Gauguin, Picasso, Matisse, Magritte, and Schiele.
This collection is an absolute wonder to behold.
