The Cedar & The Sea: with AVM Curiosities for Totally Thames Festival 2022
The Cedar & The Sea is an olfactory river adventure at neo-Gothic gem Two Temple Place created by AVM Curiosities.
A festival celebration housed in one of the riverbank’s hidden architectural gems. Created for William Waldorf Astor in 1895, the eccentric surroundings of Two Temple Place provide an opulent setting for a multi-sensory tour of the building, created by AVM Curiosities’ Founder Tasha Marks, with Two Temple Place’s Head of Exhibitions, Rebecca Hone, that will unlock multi-layered heritage histories and the wildly unconventional architecture of the building.
The tour will last 1 hour, including the chance for questions and conversation throughout. This 1hr tour comprises of a sound, scent and video installation plus a special Two Temple Place-inspired bespoke cocktail created by Tasha Marks (a non-alcoholic cocktail will be available).
