‘"Discoveries" spans archaeology, anthropology, zoology, science and art - and includes artefacts that go back millennia... It sets out to explore the nature of discovery in every sense of the word, each artefact chosen for its ability to instil a sense of wonder.’
Time Out - 28 January 2014

Two Temple Place is one of London's hidden architectural gems, an extraordinary late Victorian mansion built by William Waldorf Astor on Embankment. The house is owned by registered charity, The Bulldog Trust and supports the charitable activities of the Trust through exhibitions and events hosted in the building. It also provides a unique setting for both corporate and private events, from weddings to conferences.

‘For splendor of both ornament and conception, it's hard to beat.’

ornate and slightly crazed...’
