Lady Lever Cafe

Excellent collection of art and artifacts collected by the Lever family in particular. Interesting information in places. Well laid out, you just need to be methodical in your visit. The fairy work was amazing, the detail in the drawings immense. Highly recommended this for any budding art student. The surrounding area is a must see too. No photos of gallery as not allowed but others provided.

The whole of Port Sunlight is an unforgettable experience. It’s like a time warp back to the early 1900s- unmissable for anyone interested in the Arts & Crafts era. The gallery itself is a wonderfully eccentric mix of art collected by one family. Do also visit the museum, and other related sites-the gallery is part of a bigger experience of the area. The philanthropic philosophy is progressive and thought provoking in these modern times.

I have visited this lovely gallery a few times and have always enjoyed wandering around looking at the fabulous paintings and other treasures. It was built by Lord Lever in honour of his wife and is the second largest building in the world built as such a tribute, the first being the Taj Mahal. I was with a group this time and had arranged for a talk to be given by Fiona Slattery Clark, the Curator of Decorative Arts at National Museums Liverpool. At our request it focused on the fabulous collection of Chinese porcelain in the gallery but also included the history of the gallery and Lord Lever. A great talk and a good introduction a visit to the gallery.

Beautiful gallery, one of my favourite art galleries to visit!! Staff are wonderful and are super easy to approach if any questions were to be asked. The atmosphere is lovely, as it's not too busy but not too quiet! After visiting the gallery, I recommend visiting the Port Sunlight village itself on a sunny day!
