Abbot Hall

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.

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.

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 exhibition or even just to relax in their cafe whilst in Kendal.

Keep up the good work!

Loved the Grayson Perry exhibition, lovely staff!

Good selection of Paintings, did feel a bit out of place when I heard a visitor complaining about most of "the public" not fully appreciating the art. No discredit to the actual place though.

Nice to see the original portraits from Skipton castle and some more modern art.

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.

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 from next week which is very disappointing.
