The Selfridge's at Bullring ' which use to be an eyesore ' is probably the best example of the new face of the city as it settles in the 21st Century. This city features a wide abundance of museums and art galleries including the Barber's Institute collection of French Impressionists.

Birmingham is also home to a Royal Ballet company which tours around the country performing traditional, classical and heritage ballets as well as their very own works that they have produced themselves.
