Dorich House Museum

The sculptor Dora Gordine designed this building in 1936 as apartment, studio and gallery for herself and her husband, the Russian art scholar Richard Hare, and it is now Grade II listed and run by Kingston University. The plaster and modelling studios remain across the lower floors with Gordine's sculptures installed in them, and the Art Deco living rooms hold the Russian art and artefacts the couple collected. Free entry, Thursday to Saturday; there is no step-free access.
