The Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight was designed by William and Segar Owen for Lord Leverhulme, who endowed it to show his collection and named it for his late wife, Elizabeth Hulme, Lady Lever. The text says it was commissioned in 1913 and opened in 1922 by Princess Beatrice. The infobox lists 1922 as established, which matches the opening rather than a construction start.

A 2016 restoration costing 2.8 million pounds returned the South End galleries to their original architecture, reopening doorways, improving lighting and restoring some vaulted ceilings. The gallery displays fine and decorative art, mostly mixed together, with five period rooms. It had 210,790 visitors in 2019. The article gives no hours.
