The Lady Lever Art Gallery is regarded as one of the finest art galleries in Europe. It's located in model village, Port Sunlight in Wirral, a place rich in architectural charm.
The gallery was founded by William Hesketh Lever (1851-1925) and is dedicated to his wife Elizabeth, Lady Lever. Lever wanted to share his collections with the public and the works on display at the gallery have been personally selected.
Inside the gallery, visitors will find the best of Lever's personal art collection and the finest collection of Wedgwood jasperware anywhere in the world. The Pre-Raphaelite painting collection is internationally renowned and features works by Millais, Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Holman Hunt.
Lady Lever often houses temporary exhibitions. Currently on display is German Revolution: Expressionist Prints. This exhibition showcases powerful prints by some of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Including work by Munch, Schiele and Kokoschka, the exhibition explores how the social, political, sexual and moral struggles taking place during the turbulent period of the German Revolution (1918-1919) moved artists to produce such dramatic imagery. The exhibition features important prints that demonstrate how artists outside Germany contributed to the evolution of Expressionism, including Pablo Picasso’s 'The Frugal Meal'.
The exhibition is drawn from the collection of The Hunterian, University of Glasgow.
