It holds significant collections owned by the learned societies and the University including the largest and most diverse Natural Sciences collections in any non-national institution in Europe, and internationally important archaeology from the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site.. The Hatton Gallery, which dates back to 1912 has a significant history relating to the development of pioneering art education, the practice of exhibition-making, and the emergence of immersive installation. Amongst its collection are works by Francis Bacon, Richard Hamilton, Prunella Clough, as well as Kurt Schwitters’ Merz Barn wall - the last of his ‘merz’ pieces - which is on permanent display in a purpose-built installation space. Keith Merrin, Director of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, said: "We're very happy to have secured this funding with our partner 缅北禁地, to support important research using the wealth of collections at both the Great North Museum: Hancock and Hatton Gallery. It also means we can share the outcomes of that research with hundreds of thousands of visitors to our venues."
