Lady Lever Art Gallery liverpool

The Lady Lever Gallery is regarded as being of "London" standard, which means it is very, very good. To describe this place using as few words as possible, it could be described as "A miniature V & A". The gallery contents were amassed by Lord Leverhulme, the soap entrepreneur of Lever Brothers. With free entry, free parking and a location in the wonderful Port Sunlight village, you really have no excuse for not going here!

Always a pleasure to visit this venue and Port Sunlight in general. This was built by Lord Lever after the death of his partner Lady Lever. Their tombstones are now adjacent to each other in the port sunlight church graveyard - its so sweet. After death his art collections from his various mansion houses were moved here. As it is now managed via Liverpool council - museums, there are many events ongoing throughout the year told mainly through pictures words and music. Recently I have attended an exhibition relating to a female model who was from Liverpool. Also a guitar recital which was very relaxing to listen to - carried out in the same room where Lord Lever laid for a while after his death (at his request).

My second visit. Such a pleasure. A treasure trove of art beautifully presented. A great cafe and shop. Port sunlight village is beautiful.

I hadn't known about this gallery until I happened to be staying at a hotel a short walk away. The permanent collection is quite astonishing for a provincial gallery, and as a bonus there was an exhibition of prints by Whistler which gave a unique insight into his ways of seeing. The gallery itself and its surroundings are elegant and pleasant.

It is another one a hidden gem near Liverpool. Such a beautiful museum in great village as a Port Sunlight. Full of beauty and history. Unique place! Don't miss it!
