Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum

About

Discover one of the most fascinating historic houses in England. Built by Merton Russell-Cotes as an extravagant birthday gift for his wife, Annie, it celebrates the couple’s passion for art and travel, world cultures and natural history. Situated on Bournemouth’s stunning cliff-top over-looking the sea, this exotic seaside villa has been sealed in time creating a unique atmosphere in a most dramatic setting.

A programme of special events and exhibitions are held throughout the year, please see our website for more details.

Do look at our website russellcotes.com for latest information.
