Housed in the former Supreme Court building in Pietermaritzburg, the Tatham collection was initiated in 1904 with donations of Victorian art. Supplemented in 1923 by a collection of glassware, porcelain and Oriental rugs as well as 19th and early 20th century French and British art works, the collection has grown to include Degas, Renoir, members of the Bloomsbury group, Picasso, Matisse and Hockney.
The current collection focus is on creating a historically representative and contemporary collection of work by KwaZulu-Natal artists, and a programme of temporary exhibitions ensures public exposure to a range of travelling and locally curated exhibitions.
