Excellent gallery although its small, it features exhibitions of international importance which are well laid out.
The coffee shop is pleasant as well, really good well made coffee, nice decor and a relaxed atmosphere. They also open earlier than the gallery.

The exterior of the building is beautiful and very photogenic.

This is more of a general comment about art UK wide...Although the Ikon is good ,Birmingham is still quite timid when it comes to contemporary art ..the West Midlands conurbation has a population approaching Paris so it should be able to support an art gallery the size of Tate Modern. With all the regeneration happening (library/grand central) hopefully this will be built in the next few years!!
