Penrith Museum of Printing

Reviewed By jeank158

A small museum with a lot to see: I was lucky to visit on one of their open days when they were busy setting up then running one of the presses. It was intriguing. All the people there knew so much about printing. I could ask questions and hear their stories. They showed me the big drawers of metal letters for each font, the large letters in metal type for headlines, the different presses, historic photos, and printed samples of work.

Penrith Regional Gallery

Reviewed By jojoj899 - Sydney, Australia

Not only is this a great little art gallery but the adjoining cafe is superb. Beautiful food al fresco. For the cooler weather there are gas heaters under shelter for the warmer weather, glorious sunshine and beautiful gardens. Book a table or take a blanket and sit on the lawns. Food is amazing. Make sure you get a size of Trunkey Creek chorizo...hands down the best chorizo in Australia! Licensed and serves great organic wine also. After a great meal enjoy the art gallery, always a new exhibition. Just a beautiful place opposite the glorious Nepean River, take a leisurely stroll afterwards and take in nature’s picturesque art works to walk off your meal. Win win!
