Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Art museum in Kendal, UK.
The Abbot Hall Art Gallery occupies a Georgian stone building with curved steps, an arched doorway, and two-storey canted bay windows along the east front.
Colonel George Wilson commissioned the construction of Abbot Hall in 1759 on the former site where representatives from St Mary's Abbey in York stayed.
The gallery maintains an extensive collection of George Romney paintings, John Ruskin drawings, and watercolors by Turner and John Robert Cozens.
Visitors can access the gallery from Wednesday through Saturday between 10 AM and 4 PM, with adult tickets priced at £12 and student entry at £9.
The building features underground cellars and specific architectural elements including a plinth, quoins, and a parapet that define its structural character.
