fox talbot museum at lacock abbey印象

Good value and excellent service, the coffee was very good and the flapjack was yummy. The staff were quick and efficient. We really enjoyed our visit

We arrived late in the afternoon after lunch in the 'Sign of the Angel' so were too late for the last tour of the house. There are lots of the old abbey rooms to see but all were virtually empty so actually not a great deal to see. Lacock is full of international tourists most of whom seemed hell-bent on seeing where Harry Potter was filmed. If we heard 'Harry Potter' yelled once we heard it many times - not quite the decorum of the old abbey we expected. There is an interesting if small museum about photography which is worth a longer visit. All in all it is worth spending a lot longer time there than we did (our fault) although the Harry Potter link can be irritating.

Interesting if you are into photography. We learned quite a lot about the history of the process behind it all

As a member of the National Trust I never tire of visiting Lacock Abbey. It is both interesting and educational being the home of Fox Talbot the "Father" of photography. A must visit place

The Religious part of the Abbey was interesting, but one must use the imagination widely as the artefacts are sparce. The Fox Talbot aspect is very interesting and educational, and the First floor in the Abbey is well furnished and the History explained It's really too expensive for a Full Ticket. Surrounding grounds are lovely, and the Village also owned by the National Trust is very beautiful and a joy to walk around.

To us, on a visit to Lacock Abbey, this was an interesting 'add on'. We had read about the museum and Fox Talbot's link to the Abbey previously on Trip and were looking forward to seeing it. As a keen photographer, who, due to my trusty digital camera, has little knowledge of the actual process of developing pictures, this museum was informative in 'bite size' chunks. It was quite busy due to half term but we were able to wander at leisure and read/see all that was there.We especially enjoyed the current 'Platinum' exhibition- some lovely photographic pieces of art. A word of caution though if you are visiting with curious children - there are 2 fairly graphic photographs - one of a male body and one topless female. They didn't offend us and hopefully no-one else would be as they are beautiful compositions but parents may want to be aware.A very enjoyable and interesting museum.

Great information and exhibits about the early years of photography. Altogether a great attraction along with the Abbey and the village.

This National Trust property is well worth a visit. It offers visitors three things in one visit.The Museum details the history of photography from it's beginnings in the early 19thC and how William Henry Fox Talbot, famous for his contributions to photography, fits in to the timeline.The house (Lacock Abbey) is a slightly odd looking country house boasting quite a few architectural styles and additions since its foundation as a nunnery. Inside you can see it's medieval rooms and the cloister. It gives a real sense of how the house began it's life.Finally there are the grounds and garden to walk around. Great on a sunny day...though it was raining when we were there, but still enjoyable.

National Trust property- very interesting learning about the history of photography. Thoroughly recommend it.

What an interesting and fascinating tale of photography! Beautifully laid out - exhibits had me hooked! I was completely ignorant about the development/ invention of photography before dropping by! Thank you so much for a fab couple of hours.
