In October 2011, Two Temple Place is opening as the first London venue to specifically showcase publicly-owned art from UK regional collections. The venue is one of London’s hidden architectural gems, an extraordinary neo-Gothic mansion built by William Waldorf Astor on Embankment.

The inaugural show to launch the building is in collaboration with the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow. WMG is closing for refurbishment in May 2011 and is delighted to be working with Two Temple Place on its first exhibition.

The William Morris exhibition is being curated by Dr Esme Whittaker one of the UK’s most promising curatorial talents, under the guidance of Martin Caiger-Smith, Head of the MA Programme, Curating the Art Museum at The Courtauld Institute of Art. The collaboration between Two Temple Place and the Courtauld is intended as a pilot for a longer term relationship.

Two Temple Place is owned by and houses the charitable trust – The Bulldog Trust. Up until now it has been closed to the public and run as an events venue in order to generate a substantial income for charitable distribution. The Trust are planning annual exhibitions of treasures from regional museums and collections at Two Temple Place, along with a calendar of cultural and charitable events to complement the exhibitions and the Trust’s more general charitable aims.
