This was our first visit, and we were thoroughly impressed. The venue hosts a variety of engaging exhibitions that change over time, ensuring a fresh and exciting experience with each visit. The team is exceptionally friendly and supportive, and the entire facility is impeccably clean.Additionally, there is an on-site shop and restaurant, making it a convenient and enjoyable destination. This place is suitable for all age groups, offering something for everyone regardless of age.An added bonus is its proximity to Cannon Hill Park, a stunning location perfect for a leisurely walk. Overall, this is a highly recommended destination that we look forward to visiting again.

I read one of the reviews on here about this place being soulless...obviously everyone on here has an opinion that needs listening to but the sad fact is NO city/place (in my opinion) will ever get the funding for arts that London gets, so as humble as the MAC is and as pretentious as art can be on occasion..we have to support our local Art places. Anyway, the MAC is a great place to enjoy good food in a large, open stylish place. Cannon Hill park is worth a visit especially on a quiet day

Been here a coupla times for different exhibitions. Nostalgic building. Interesting exhibitions. Nice gift shop! Family and kid friendly centre, often well-visited over the weekends. Connected to the park and the River Rea cycling trail.

A great visit to Grayson Perry's Art Club exhibition. Well located, easy access with friendly staff. Great Coffee!! A fantastic art resource. Well worth a visit. The exhibition was well curated. Some items very moving and thought provoking, showing the wide range of British cultural talent.

Travel &. E.

This is an arts centre so it has art work on display, shows / plays going on. Has a cinema inside to go watch films.
Theres also a bar and cafe serving warm, cold and alcoholic beverages. Same with the food.
Has disabled accessible entrances, lifts and toilets along with toilets available to the public

Modern facilities but soulless.

The outside is an ugly mixture of unkempt functional architecture and brash, upbeat marketing decorations. Both the front and back entrance are not welcoming spaces, the latter from the car parks being quite narrow.

The meeting rooms & suites, bar area and cafés look and feel up to date with everywhere looking smart and clean. A little too much so as the entire place lacks character or atmosphere leading to a sterile feeling.

Display areas, even for the same exhibition, can spread out and one is in the small café making it awkward to see. Small corridors are also used not allowing the viewer to stand back from the display.

The gift shop is stupidly expensive easily beating some London museums in pricing. The goods and books seem aimed at serious arty types and, although I'm one, I still wouldn't pay £7 for a fridge magnet.

Parking can be a nightmare if there's more than one event on and impossible if there's a match at neighbouring Edgbaston Cricket ground. Be aware that the parking area is split into two so make sure you pay at the right pay station for where you've left your car. RingGo app works works well here though.
