The Bloomberg Connects app provides an exciting new way to discover Dorich House Museum and includes detailed room guides, additional information about many of the objects in our collection, museum trails about our Russian Collection and Dora Gordine’s Subjects and Sitters, and audio clips to help visitors picture what Dorich House would have been like during Gordine’s lifetime. If you’re planning on visiting us, we recommend downloading the app using the QR code below to make the most of your visit, but even if you’re unable to visit us in person, you can now virtually explore the museum using the app.

Our studio café is open from 11am-4:30pm on our open days and serves a selection of cakes, coffee, and tea. We can accept cash or card payments. You do not need to book for the café – just stop by any time during your visit. Please note, the café only accepts card payments.

Our range of merchandise, which includes books, publications, postcards and tote bags, is available to purchase online via the Art UK shop and via card payment at the museum.

5 June 2020: Dorich House Museum and our partner venue Stanley Picker Gallery recognise we must do more as cultural organisations to be actively anti-racist. We commit to taking immediate steps to implement a clear plan of action to address systemic racism at every level of our organisations, whilst actively seeking and welcoming critical engagement from diverse perspectives in this process.
