The University of the Third Age (U3A) provides a variety of groups and activities designed for those who are newly retired or approaching the exciting phase of life known as the 'third age'.
What is this service?
Dorich House Museum is located over three floors. Its principal ground and first floor spaces – a plaster studio, a modelling studio and a gallery – were originally devoted to the production and display of Gordine’s work. Above them, a more modest top floor apartment served the couple’s domestic needs.
The Museum holds the world’s largest collection of Gordine’s work, which spans her artistic career. Alongside work completed at Dorich House from the mid-1930s are examples of her early paintings, drawings and sculptures, produced in Paris and south-east Asia from the late 1920s. Also on permanent display is an important collection of Russian art and artefacts, acquired by Gordine and Hare during their marriage.
Visitors can enjoy the house and collections and, weather permitting, spectacular views from its roof terrace overlooking Richmond Park.
