Set in the attractive garden village of Port Sunlight, the Lady Lever Art Gallery is famous for its collections of 18th and 19th century paintings, 18th century furniture and outstanding Wedgwood. Visitors can also enjoy beautiful Chinese porcelain, tapestries and embroideries, classical antiquities and Pre-Raphaelites, paintings by Turner and Constable. With its intimate atmosphere, the Lady Lever Art Gallery is a great place to immerse your family in art. Home to the extensive personal collection of its founder William Hesketh Lever, this stunning gallery contains amazing treasures around every corner.

The gallery and its collection owe their existence to soap, as Lever made his fortune by founding Lever Brothers. It was the paintings of people in crisp, white clothing for use in his advertisements that sparked Lever’s fascination with art and there are a number of these ‘Sunlight Soap’ paintings on display.

Besides the fine and decorative arts, you can also enjoy browsing amongst the superb range of souvenirs, gifts and postcards in the attractive gallery shop or relax in the popular Lady Lever café.
