Dulwich Picture Gallery Opens Brand-New Family Art Space This September 🎨
At Greater London Properties, we believe that a home is as much about its surroundings as the house itself—and Dulwich offers an exceptional blend of culture, community, and family-focused amenities.
One of the highlights is Dulwich Picture Gallery, which is rolling out something truly exciting as part of its Open Art redevelopment.
đź—“ Opening in September 2025
Mark your calendars! The Gallery will officially unveil its Family Art Play Space and Sculpture Garden during a celebratory weekend on 6–7 September 2025, marking the completion of the Open Art transformation
From that weekend, families and art lovers can explore these brand-new additions.
What’s New?
A bright, inviting Art Play Space designed for children aged 0–8—complete with hands-on art-inspired activities, a cozy café, and a lunchtime area.
A new Sculpture Garden, winding through newly planted wildflower meadows and thoughtfully landscaped greenery. Eco-friendly enhancements like a ground-source heat pump—supporting both the environment and visitor comfort. This marks the Gallery’s first major redevelopment in over two decades, aimed at blending contemporary family spaces with its historic architecture and timeless art collection
Why This Matters to Dulwich Families
For families settling in SE21, it’s more than just an art gallery—it’s a place to grow with the community:
Cultural richness: Over 600 works by Old Masters like Rembrandt and Canaletto in a Sir John Soane–designed building dating from 1817 .
Interactive learning: Children can explore art, nature, and creativity in a purpose-built space designed with families in mind.
Community atmosphere: Add to this the weekly food market held in the Gallery’s gardens—another reason Dulwich buzzes with activity and connection.
