The Hatton Gallery houses Newcastle University's art collection. It 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. The permanent collection comprises over 3,500 works, from the 14th century onward but its real strengths lie in its 20th Century Collection, enhanced by artists such as Victor Pasmore and Richard Hamilton teaching at the Fine Art Department. Unillustrated here is its most well-known exhibit, Merzbarn, the only surviving Merz construction by Kurt Schwitters, which was rescued from a barn near Elterwater in 1965 and is now permanently installed in the gallery.
