Hatton Gallery, Kunstgalerij in Newcastle upon Tyne, Engeland
The Hatton Gallery is an art museum located within Newcastle University's Fine Art Building and displays a collection of around 3,500 works from different periods. The spaces contain paintings, prints, and other artistic objects ranging from Renaissance times to contemporary art.
The museum was founded in 1925 as part of the King Edward VII School of Art at Armstrong College in Newcastle. A major renovation in the 2010s modernized the building and expanded exhibition space for the growing collection.
De galerij toont werken van gevestigde kunstenaars zoals Francis Bacon en Victor Pasmore in zijn ruimten. Bezoekers kunnen stukken uit verschillende artistieke stromingen van de 20e eeuw ontdekken en zien hoe verschillende creatieve benaderingen samen worden gepresenteerd.
Admission is free and the gallery is open on weekdays and Saturdays. It is worth allowing enough time to explore the different exhibition areas at a leisurely pace.
The museum houses a rare Merz wall construction by Kurt Schwitters that was rescued and restored in 1965. This artwork made from paper, wood, and other materials is one of the few remaining examples of Schwitters' experimental art form.
