A modernist 1930s Kingston Hill house, packed with sculptures and Russian artefacts, opens its doors to the public on Friday, February 26.

The house was designed and built by sculptor Dora Gordine and her art collector husband Richard Hare in 1936.

Following the success of the 2009 Dora Gordine retrospective, the house has been altered to include Russian art collection items that were previously in storage.

It will open between 11am and 5pm, with guided tours on offer at 11am, noon, 2pm and 3pm.

It is not necessary to book but do arrive promptly.
