Letter: Publicity-shy gallery
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: As a regular visitor to London's principal galleries and museums, I have some sympathy for the management of the Dulwich Picture Gallery who are wrestling with their financial problems ('Oldest public gallery appeals for help', 8 January).
I politely suggest that some of the injury is self-inflicted. Among the multitude of brochures advertising the diverse events open to the public, I have never seen one for the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Consequently I do not know its precise location, nor how to get there by bus or Tube, let alone know anything about the museum or its exhibits.
The National Gallery publications, covering the design and construction of the Sainsbury Wing, give generous praise to the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Surely the opening of the Sainsbury Wing would have been an ideal time for the Dulwich management to capitalise, in every sense of the word, on the free publicity?
Yours faithfully,
