I really love contemporary museums and this was the only contemporary one besides the Birmingham museum which has some contemporary things but there is a lot of paintings.

Ikon reminds me a lot like Tate modern (if anyone hasn t been there it s a must, it s massive) with the contemporary art pieces. If anyone is studying fashion design like I am, and on a budget definitely go to ikon, it s much smaller but you can focus on each of the pieces and definitely will be able to study all the pieces around 1-2 hours depending how in-depth you want to see all the details of the pieces, etc but if you re not someone who looks into it as detailed you ll probably take under an hour for sure.

The only reason I m giving it 4 stars is because they don t have enough floors and more pieces to see, if wish to see more and a plus from the museum is it s free to see.

The elevator is really funny so much try it out, it has a funny tension effect when going up or down, even though if you aren t disable must try it out, only if there isn t any disabled person waiting.

The walk area is slightly narrow when travelling around the stairs that pathway before you enter in to see the pieces just a heads up in case anyone who is disabled and wanted to see it.

There a few piece which you have to go stairs so it s incongruent for disabled people who really would want to see it.

The ikon entrance sign is a Instagram worthy picture with the ikon lit up with each bulbs.

TRAVELLING TO THERE AND BACK -


Travelling back from the museum to the train station/ city centre, you ll need to call for a taxi. There isn t an taxi nearby. There are small cafes around though.

Also I don t think there is a car park where I was dropped off since there was a barrier and a cross section for walking paths only. But you can probably park on other streets and walk to it.
