Tea with Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky may be known for many things; the gift of synesthesia, opening his own school, Abstraction!, and some pretty well-known friends (Duchamp et al). But did you know he was obsessed with 'taking tea?' In fact, his father was a successful tea importer.

Why not combine your Afternoon Tea with a trip to the Expressionists exhibition and see the works of Kandinsky, Münter and The Blue Rider Group.
