The Garman Ryan Collection
Permanent Collection
This prestigious collection was donated to the people of Walsall in 1973 by Kathleen Garman. Kathleen had grown up in Wednesbury, lived her adult life in London, but wanted to give something back to her home county, believing it was important for culture to exist outside of the capital.
