Hatton Gallery

About

Newcastle University's Hatton Gallery has been at the heart of cultural life in the North East since it was founded in 1925. In October 2017 the gallery underwent a £3.8 million redevelopment to conserve the historic and architectural elements of the Grade II listed building while creating a modern exhibition space. The Hatton’s diverse collection includes over 3,000 works from the 14th – 20th centuries. Key pieces include work by Francis Bacon, Richard Hamilton, Palma Giovane, Thomas Bewick, Eduardo Paolozzi, Camillo Procaccini, Patrick Heron and Victor Pasmore. The Hatton stages a programme of modern and contemporary art exhibitions, and events including artist and curator talks and family activities. The Gallery works closely with students from Newcastle University and exhibits their work on an annual basis. Christmas hours - closed Sunday 22 December 2024 to Sunday 5 January 2025 inclusive.
