About Walsall

Known for

The Walsall Leather Museum (the saddlery and leather goods capital of England), the New Art Gallery Walsall (a landmark gallery holding the Garman Ryan Collection), and a Black Country town of significant industrial and artistic heritage

A little history

Walsall was the leather goods and saddlery capital of England — supplying saddlery to the British cavalry, bridles to the Empire. The Walsall Leather Museum tells this story brilliantly. The New Art Gallery Walsall, opened 2000, holds the Garman Ryan Collection donated by Kathleen Garman (Jacob Epstein's partner) — including works by Epstein, Picasso and Van Gogh.

Local tip

The New Art Gallery Walsall is free and genuinely outstanding — the Garman Ryan Collection with Picasso and Van Gogh is remarkable. The Leather Museum. The town market.
