Barber Institute
The Barber Institute of Fine Arts
The Barber Institute of Fine Arts has the most outstanding collection of works of art assembled in Britain in the twentieth century and is one of the city of Birmingham's greatest cultural attractions.
The Institute was founded in 1932 by Lady Barber in memory of her husband Sir Henry Barber, a wealthy Birmingham solicitor and property developer, and was beqeathed to the University 'for the study and encouragement of art and music'. Housed in a Grade II listed building, designed by Robert Atkinson, it was officially opened by Queen Mary in 1939. Since that time it has acquired a collection of works of art of international significance, displayed in spacious and elegant galleries on the first floor of the Institute.
In addition to the superb galleries there are regular concerts, exhibitions and other events that are worth visiting.
