The Lady Lever Gallery is the jewel in the crown of the garden village of Port Sunlight, housing the magnificent personal collection of the first Lord Leverhulme.
Built by the soap magnate and philanthropist in 1922, the gallery includes Pre-Raphaelite masterpieces, paintings by Turner and Constable, 18th 
century furniture, ceramics, Wedgwood, sculpture, tapestries and Napoleonic memorabilia.
With its intimate atmosphere, this is a great place to introduce younger family members to art. Home to the extensive personal collection of founder William Hesketh Lever, this stunning gallery contains amazing treasures around every corner.
General Information:There is a lift between the basement and the ground floor where the vast majority of the galleries can be found. However, given the nature of the building there is no lift access to the smaller mezzanine level
