Dorich House Museum

What a gorgeous place! Enjoyed my visit today, what a beautiful, light and spacious house filled with Gorine's work and objects of art. Interesting life story of Dora Gorine. Staff is knowledgeable and nice. I'll definitely be back.

The opportunity to see where an artist worked as well as their work is always special, and Dorich House is an interesting building in its own right, as well as housing Dora Gordine's sculpture studio and, on the top floor, impressive apartment rooms and roof terrace (open to visitors). You need to book free visits in advance and we practically had the house to ourselves, an added bonus. After our tour and watching the informative 20min biographical film, our welcoming and knowledgeable host served us with tea and cakes in the garden -- you don't get that kind of service too often 😁

Wonderful building, I wish I knew about Dorich House sooner!

A must see art gallery/ artist’s home for the fabulous story of the sculptor Dora Gordine who also designed the house and studio. What a woman and what a life she lived. I hope someone makes a movie about this inspirational artist.

Dorich house is such an underappreciated gem. A beautiful collection of sculpture in the artists home/studio. Free entry. Friendly staff. Well worth downloading the app although there are good explanations of the rooms around the house and a good introductory movie. I've never found the museum that busy but going on Thursday I had the place almost to myself. Highly recommended.

I was really looking forward to my visit at the Dorich House Museum. I absolutely love art and have been captivated by Dora Gordine’s story for a long time. Although the collection and grounds did not disappoint, the same cannot be said for the staff. Lynesse (I think that’s how you spell her name) could not have tried harder to make me feel out of place. She was cold, she was off, she was rude - but treated the other [white] patrons a lot differently. Despite Dorich House Museum making a blanket statement in 2020 attesting to its commitment to be anti-racist I don’t believe Lynesse got the message. It’s such a shame as the Dorich House Museum platforms art from different cultures, however, it seems that living people of colour are still not welcome within their spaces.

I visited here in September 2022. It is an interesting little museum focusing on its former owners, the sculptor Dora Gordine and her husband, the Hon. Richard Hare, a scholar of Russian art and literature. It is easy to reach on public transport with frequent buses stopping closeby

Fascinating place. Best enjoyed via a guided tour and take a moment to watch the short documentary about the house to get a good insight into the life of the artist Dora Gordine.
