    Excellent Exhibition
    A superb exhibition again - Flower Fairies - The pictures were brilliant and the explanations to each picture was short and simple and to the point. Excellent simple explanation. Well done Merseyside Museums. Of course a coffee and bacon sandwich in the cafe was also very good.
    Hi, thank you for leaving a lovely review of your visit with us. We agree, coffee and bacon sandwich goes down a treat after exploring our gallery. Flower Fairies is on until November and there are a lot of activities and events throughout the summer. Check out our 'What's On' page at liverpoolmuseums.org.uk

    Mixed exhibits
    Interesting gallery with a mix of paintings, ceramics, furniture and sculptures. There was a flower fairies paintings exhibition on which was interesting. The exhibit information is well set out. Mostly on the ground floor. Stairs only to the upper galleries which only house a few exhibits. Stairs or lift to basement with cafe and toilets.
    Hi, thank you for a great review, its lovely to see you had a great visit to Lady Lever Art Gallery. Flower Fairies is open until November, so plenty of time to pop back and see it before it closes. Our cafe is located on Ground Floor and can also be accessed via our accessible entrance from the outside leading into the shop. Hope this is helpful for your next visit.

    Fascinating and intriguing collection.
    Fascinating building and social history, and an amazing array of art and artefacts inside. Well worth the suggested donation of £5. The service in the cafe and the lemon drizzle in particular were also worthy of note.

    Stunning Art Collection
    Stunning collection of art works from many different eras and genres. Beautiful light spacious galleries with plenty of seating from where you can sit and enjoy these treasures. Cafe in the basement with small menu but very reasonably priced. Lift up to the galleries if you are less able to climb stairs. Loved the old-fashioned loos with the penny in the slot mechanism still on the doors ( but there is no charge ) Part of Port Sunlight village with lots more to see including small museum,workers cottage and church. Perfect for strolling around admiring the different architectural styles of the houses

    Nice experience
    Cabbed over from across the Mercy to see pre-Raphaelite paintings but the most famous was on loan to London Tate. Enjoyed the collection and the special exhibit of the fairies but was confused about payment…the museum was free but the special exhibition was £5? The neighborhood around the museum is a utopian community and architecturally interesting.

    Wonderful free gallery in a beautiful historic village
    Fabulous free museum with wonderful collections of paintings by famous artists, furniture, ceramics etc etc. Lovely downstairs cafe. Location unbeatable in beautiful Post Sunlight village with its historic well maintained workers' houses, gardens etc., historic village school, church & an excellent museum across the road. For any Welsh person, the visit is a must to view the well known painting by Sidney Vosper of "Capel Salem".- The Welsh lady wearing a shawl where people believe depicts the image of the devil ! It is the only painting in the whole gallery that is protected by a curtain. The painting was used to advertise the soap made in the village years ago.

    Outstanding customer service
    Visited today with my 6 year old granddaughter who is doing a school project on Port Sunlight . Staff could only be described as outstanding. Sorry but didn’t get names but the lady on the front desk found all sorts of useful information for her and tickets for the fairy exhibition . Talked to us about future events too . Another gentleman caught up with us to give us more information . Truly outstanding customer service

Visited the Boodles twice, once in Oct and then again in Nov. Although only a small exhibition, really interesting with some fantastic jewellery. Great to see a local business being exhibited.
