History

The Hatton Gallery was founded in 1925, by the King Edward VII School of Art, Armstrong College, Durham University (Newcastle University's Department of Fine Art), in honour of Richard George Hatton, a professor at the School of Art [cite web |url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/hatton/about/history/index.htm |title=History |publisher=Hatton Gallery |accessdate=2008-05-12] .

The permanent collection comprises over 3,500 works, some dating back to the 14th century. These works of art include paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings. It houses the "Merzbarn" - the only surviving Merz construction by Kurt Schwitters - as well as works by Francis Bacon, Victor Pasmore, William Roberts and Paolo di Giovanni.
