One of the UK's Finest Galleries (plus great Staff)

It goes without saying this is one of the UK's great galleries. We particularly wanted to see the Pre-Raphaelite paintings and Wedgwood Jasper collections, and they exceeded our expectations. Good galleries need not only the items on display but also staff who are helpful and...More

Very underated gem

The Lady Lever is well worth a visit. It is set in the Historic Village of Port Sunlight. The gallery has some very interesting exhibits and a good mix of paintings and sculpture. It also caters for young children.

By donation

Free admission, though recommended donation is 4 GBP. Nice stroll of an hour or so. The oil paintings are enough but the display of Chinese artifacts was also quite good. A room is dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte and the (tiny) replica bed is a revelation.
