Lady Lever Art Gallery — Attraction in Wirral

A great gallery in a fine location with quality collections of paintings, sculpture, Ceramics, furniture and many other fascinating artefacts. For those who enjoy the arts it is well worth going. Lord Lever's collections which make up the virtually all the exhibits is what you might expect from a Victorian/Edwardian in that it features an impressive number of quality works of the Pre Raphaelites and other Victorian paintings and sculpture of the period. Many of the paintings have a familiarity as Lord Lever used many of the images in advertising and promotion for the soap products from which he derived his considerable fortune. There are also many other works by mainly British artists including Turner, Constable, Reynolds and many others. There are also excellent collections of Wedgwood Jasperware, Chinese pottery and the list goes on. The size of the gallery does not overwhelm and can be enjoyed in a single visit however there is such variety to keep you wanting to return...

What a treat it is to get up close to paintings you will have seen only in books? Wind your way slowly through this museum/ gallery new treasures await you room after room .

Other country's charge a considerable fee to glimpse such treasures. Great snacks and refreshments are always available downstairs in the restaurant/ cafe.

We were greeted by a lovely attendant called Jo who explained the layout of the gallery and provided us with lots of info about Port Sunlight. We enjoyed hours taking in the beautiful collections and ran into Jo again as we were leaving. She'd taken time to find us to provide more Port Sunlight history which she'd printed off specially for us. We were totally taken aback at her kindness and can't thank her enough. Off to the museum shop to find an exhibition poster and the two lovely ladies there, arranged for me to have the last museum Matiz advertising poster as there were non for sale. I manage a customer service team of 60 so I know good service when I see it but I was blown away by the warmth and helpfulness of these fabulous staff. Thank you once again for making our visit even...
