England's first public art gallery, the Dulwich Picture Gallery is home to masterpieces by the likes of Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and Van Dyck.
(459)
Dulwich Picture Gallery is the world’s first purpose-built public art gallery: it was founded in 1811 when Sir Francis Bourgeois RA bequeathed his collection of old masters “for the inspection of the public”. Today the Gallery is a vibrant cultural hub hosting some of the UK’s leading exhibitions alongside its Permanent Collection of Baroque masterpieces while staging a wide-ranging programme of public events, practical art and community engagement.

Discover the fantastically imaginative storytelling of Leonora Carrington’s Pomps of the Subsoil (1947) in our latest film with director Jennifer Scott exploring our #BritishSurrealism exhibition... #MuseumFromHome #surrealism #LeonoraCarrington
It's #worldbeeday AND #creativewednesday so.... this week we're inviting you to feel the buzz(?!) and draw, paint, collage, make your own homage to this worthy pollinator - whether it's your own homemade bee house, or a picture or photo, we want to see! Share your creations with us below. We're big fans of Origami so we had a go at creating a paper bee using this simple tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4WYBitGIEY (full disclosure - it took a few attempts to make this time-lapse in one go...)
“War and all its horror is the complete opposite of the freedom of surrealist thinking” Sculptor F.E. McWilliam was born #onthisday in 1909.

This week’s #CreativeWednesday activity might have you feeling all nostalgic as we’re making salt dough sculptures! They’re really fun and easy to make with just three household ingredients: salt, flour, and water! Why not give it a go and share your creation with us @dulwichgallery ? Read on for a step by step how-to... 1️⃣ Mix a cup of plain flour with half a cup of salt 2️⃣ Gradually add half a cup of water or dye (we used acrylic paint but food colouring works well too, although add it after step 3) 3️⃣ Mix together until the dough is elastic, then pick up in your hands and knead. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more flour. 4️⃣Now it’s time to get creative! Over a floured surface roll out your dough and begin your sculpture. We made a hand-shaped tea light holder by drawing around a hand, then creating a well for the candle by pressing it firmly into the dough. 5️⃣ Once you’re happy with your sculpture it’s time to bake it! Line a tray with baking paper and place your sculpture on top. Bake at a low heat (around 140 degrees) for 2-3 hours or until the sculpture has completely hardened. 5️⃣ Allow to cool, then decorate! If you prefer, you can leave your dough plain while baking, and decorate once cooled with poster paint. Coating with a thin layer of pva can give it a nice varnish too (we skipped this step for our tea light holder) 🕯 Enjoy! We can’t wait to see your sculptures. Share them with us @dulwichgallery #creativewednesday
These origami hearts make great decorations for your room, and they’re really easy to make too. All you need is a square piece of paper. Share your creations with us here or on Instagram! Tune in every Wednesday for a new challenge. #stayathomechallenge #CreativeWednesdays 1️⃣ Fold your piece of paper diagonally across each way so that you have a clear cross shape. 2️⃣ Fold the top point of your paper downwards to meet the centre of the cross shape. 3️⃣ Bring the lowest point of the paper up to meet the middle of the top folded edge. 4️⃣ Fold the left half of your shape up, so that the lower edge rests along the crease down the centre. 5️⃣ Press the bottom and centre lines down firmly. 6️⃣ Repeat the previous two steps with the right half of your paper. 7️⃣ Turn your piece of paper over and fold down the two top tips and two side tips. 8️⃣ Flip your paper back over – it’s the perfect heart shape!
