It is the final week to see the large-scale art installation inspired by the iconic Sunlight soap packaging.
Created by artist Tod Hanson, Box Room combines graphics inspired by the world’s first packaged and branded laundry soap with references to the architectural features of the village and the industrial heritage of Lever Brothers famous soap factory.
Box Room is on show inside Port Sunlight’s church hall, which was once part of the MacFisheries shops complex in the village and thought to be used as a bakery.
The outside of the 18-foot long box installation amplifies graphic elements from the Sunlight packaging, while inside is a room that fuses the functional design of a factory space with a decorative domestic interior.
Admission to Box Room is free and no pre-booking is required. COVID-related safety measures will be in place including social distancing, using our check-in system on arrival and limited visitor numbers will be in place inside the Church Hall. Our PSVT team will monitor this on the door so there may be small waiting times on more popular days.
