The Round Room: One Fresh Take

Highlights

The spectacular Round Room has showcased Birmingham’s art collection for almost 150 years. 'One Fresh Take' is a new display about how art can be a way to see the world differently.

Discover how artists from David Cox to Lubaina Himid, Bridget Riley to Cold War Steve, have brought their own fresh take to places that are meaningful to them.

Familiar Round Room favourites – Jacob Epstein’s bronze 'Lucifer' and the much-loved penguins 'Dominicans in Feathers' – are also back on display.
