Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie

Elderly curator approached myself and my 2 young children (aged 3 and 4) within moments of entering the exhibition and told me to leave if my kids continued to talk. Extremely rude and impatient, wouldn't advise young famalies of going there if that is how staff react to children.

What an absolute joke of a receptionist. Went here for breakfast in the 3 bears cafe only to be denied entry even tho myself and wife are double vax’d and showed the proof we have but not acceptable as ‘needs to be in wallet’ even tho we are having issues getting it to accept Medicare details so only have a screenshot AND a print off. Still denied entry. Should be ashamed of yourself sending a family with a young child and a pregnant wife home. Sunday 24th October
SORT YOUR RECEPTIONIST OUT

*edit. We had no issue getting into next restaurant. What a joke you people are

Had coffee and cake w pal's & loved it. Have been before, usually walk through the lovely museum of art but not on this occasion. Thankyou

A nice find at the end of our bike ride. Displays local artists and has a nice cafe overlooking the lake!

Great time at the Museum. Always like to see the high school students exhibit. So talented. We are so lucky to have this cultural centre in our area.

Outstanding meal and service. We ordered both the vegetarian lasagne and the ploughman's lunch for two. Having skipped brekky we thought we would need both. We were wrong. The lasagne and salad was amazing, the ploughman's was the best one we have ever had. Clearly the cook takes pride in presenting a visually beautiful and plentiful platter. We found the staff friendly and very attentive in a manner you would expect from a top restaurant. I highly recommend visiting this cafe whilst at the museum. You will not be disappointed however please book as we were very lucky to get a table. It was understandably busy.

This is a gem. Do yourself a favour even locals don't know how good it is! Also buy the prinjal chutney.soo soooo yum.

Beautiful display of Aboriginal artwork. Definitely worth looking at. Only on till 7thFeb
Lovely Cafe overlooking lake. Coffee, cakes. A few light meals and alcohol beverages

It's good but I think there needed to be more interactive displays and more art work outside.
Also the yards around the outside art work should have been mowed to make them more inviting.

It’s a very small art gallery with a cafe that serves delicious food it’s a good gallery to learn about Awabakal Culture

A great Sunday afternoon at the Sunday Art Sessions held once a month. Such fun! Enjoyed by so many, Covid safe and great value for money.

Current exhibition is fabulous! Lovely cafe, great service - best carrot cake ever! Unbeatable views of the lake. I bought a beautiful artisan cup and saucer from the gallery shop - loving using it, love supporting local artisans

Very connective culturally, I could almost say.a clinical yet Sensitive environment delicately handled by professional curation,
And an interesting shop

A very nice little surprise in Booragul. A lovely clean modern art gallery with friendly staff and a great coffee shop.well worth a visit

Highly enjoyable visit, friendly and helpful staff. Interesting Cafe with pleasant surroundings. Worth a visit.

Did an art class here and learned some new techniques. The staff are friendly and the location has great views of the Lake.

Avoid the cafe here at all costs. Easily the worst coffee I've had in 30 years and stale 'breakfast' scones (after the order had been forgotten). If you want to prank someone bring them here - just make sure they pay first.

Great gallery. New cafe a beautiful location. Lovely staff, lovely food but the soup was a VERY small serve. Would be happy to pay a few more $ for more. Needs to be twice the amount and I’m not a big eater.

Wonderful Place, recommend to anyone in the area. Beautiful displays of Local, and previous international Artist. Beautifully re done by Lake Macquarie Council.

Great place to have a look around. The cafe in the Museum has beautiful & tasty food with lovely staff.
