Permanent collection
The gallery's permanent collection comprises of over 3,500 works, which include painting, sculpture, prints, drawing and many other media. Of paramount importance is the Merzbarn wall by Kurt Schwitters. Constructed in a barn in the Lake District during 1947-48, the Merzbarn was Schwitters' final, and in his own estimation, 'greatest', piece of work. The wall was transported to the gallery in 1965 and incorporated into the fabric of the building. The Merzbarn is permanently displayed in one room of the gallery and is considered to be a work of international significance.
