A few nice photo galleries images I found:
Dean Gallery 01

The Dean Gallery, Edinburgh, in its own grounds directly across from the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (also in its own grounds in a leafy part of the city), having the two next to each other makes for a pleasant art space in a lovely part of town (if you are a tourist check the National Gallery of Scotland, more centrally located on the Mound, as there is often a free small bus that shuttles around from there to these galleries and back). The Dean is home to work from one of Edinburgh's famous artistic sons, Eduardo Paolozzi, including an incredible 2-storey high 'steel giant' statue (I love it, shame they're not fond of taking photos inside, would love to shoot it) and a recreation of his studio, complete with many pieces he donated himself, it's a real pleasure to stand and stare at the clutter of this studio of his, like a little glimpse into his mind and his inspirations, well worth a visit. Nice cafe too, as has the Gallery of Modern Art across the road.
Ikon Gallery - during my works party - stray balloon

Shots of the Ikon Gallery taken during my works 25th anniversary party.
I was officially taking photos for my company. I will copy those pictures and give the shots to them.
These are just architectural and sculptural interiors.
The Ikon Gallery is a English gallery of contemporary art located in Brindleyplace, Birmingham. It is housed in the former building of the Oozells Street Boarding School, designed by John Henry Chamberlain in 1877.
A square in Brindley place named after the nearby Oozells Street. It features a channel of still water lined by cherry trees. Paul de Monchaux designed the stone sculpted seats and pergola which are located in the square.
It is a Grade II listed building in a neo-gothic style.
1877, by Martin and Chamberlain. Former board school in a Ruskiman Gothic style. Red brick; tiled roof. Three storeys; 4 bays, those on the right and left advanced somewhat and lower than the others. That on the right is gabled, but that on the left apsidal. The inner 2 bays also gabled. The windows here arranged as triplets and, elsewhere, with pointed arches. In the tympana of the first floor windows some tiles. Above and behind the apsidal turret formerly a saddle-back roofed tower.
When listed in 1981 it was the Furniture Stores Of City Of Birmingham Education Department.
Oozells Street Boarding School - Heritage Gateway
Oozells Square. On the east, the Ikon Gallery. This was Oozells Street School, by Martin & Chamberlain. 1877 in Ruskinian Gothic with east wing added 1898. The confined site dictated a compact three-storey block. Renewed sash windows, stone and tile tympana in pointed openings, typical naturalistic sculpture. Converted by Levitt Bernstein, 1997. They reinstated the tower, removed in the 1960s, to the original design, and added glass north and south extensions for lifts and stairs: tough additions to a tough building. Inside, new and old spaces flow intriguingly. New floors inserted in the main classrooms and hall, but 19th century roofs visible on the second floor. Big wooden arch braces and iron ties, but the 1898 wing has iron arches. New entrance in the north west turret, cut in awkwardly.

Shots taken before guests arrived.
A balloon didn't get tied down to the balloon weight and balloon string. They were trying to get it down.
Not sure if they burst it as I went downstairs to take my coat off.

Ikon sign in the main doorway. Last got this on my mobile when my old camera's battery went flat.
Much better on this camera.
