Collections

The collections represent the personal taste of the first Lord Leverhulme. He began buying art in the late 1880s to use as advertising for the 'Sunlight Soap' brand that he produced. From this modest beginning Leverhulme quickly grew into a discerning collector.

Further information about how the collections developed can be found in the 'Lever the Collector' gallery.|

Please note: Due to essential roof maintenance works until mid-July 2013 parts of the gallery will be closed.| We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 'Salem' by Sidney Curnow Vosper| is also currently on loan to to the Gwynedd Museum and Art gallery, Bangor.

We are not able to display our entire collection at any one time. If you wish to see a particular artwork please contact the gallery before you visit to make sure it is on display.

You can see all the paintings in our collection on the BBC 'Your Paintings' website|.
