Lovely to have this on doorstep. I think best to manage expectations - it’s not world class - but for what it is it’s lovely and has some beautiful artwork. Great that the permanent collection is open again. I also really enjoyed the two temporary exhibitions that just opened. Can’t comment on what
Lovely little cafe tucked away on the side of Abbot hall. Went round for a coffee and cake and the customer service from pearl was amazing she was very lively and friendly.
A wonderful experience in the centre of Kendal, the historical building is home to an art gallery and museum. Barbara Hepworth, Lucian Fraud are some of the highlights, a must visit.
Lovely park with lots of greenery. Children's play area. Plenty of seats to take a rest by the river and also in the park. Access to the castle just across the river bridge and up the hill. Also nearby carpark peppercorn next to the art gallery and access to the parish church and town centre
Great exhibition space, lovely house, most exhibitions are of a high quality
I have only explored the museum over here in Google maps Street view. It looks like a great place to visit (soon). Among the curiosities I could see there, I am wondering, is it a stuffed cat sitting by the door? Most amusing.
Excellent exhibition very well presented
Well worth a visit. Pleasant little coffee bar with helpful pleasant staff.
Caught my eye whilst walking back
We were thrilled with the quality and scope of the current Refugee exhibition and have discovered several fine artists we didn't know before. The captions were so well thought out and informative throughout the Gallery and a good size too.
We enjoy visiting here and it's become a destination trip for us as well as a stop on the way to the lakes. Nice galleries, exhibitions and cafe. We became members last year which also gives free entry to Blackwell and the Windermere Jetty Museum. Unfortunately Abbot Hall is closing for 2 years fr
Loved the Grayson Perry exhibition, lovely staff!
Abbot Hall represents one of the main venues to see significant art exhibitions in the area. The building is a wonderful space and backdrop to some very fine art. The talented team there are always friendly and helpful and their knowledge is always on tap.
We always look forward to the next exhibit
Visited for the coffee shop friendly staff we sat outside with ice-cream and coffee most enjoyable
A rare chance to see a Monet painting up close last weekend. There's always something of interest and of artistic importance in the gallery's regularly updated exhibitions. Well worth being a supporter, which includes free entrance to the Arts and Crafts house at Blackwell.
A lovely place to visit. The lady on reception was so welcoming and helpful. (Tuesday am). A very interesting and well presented museum and art gallery. And a great coffee and cake in the cafe! Very enjoyable.
