The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum
The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum is a historic house and art gallery on Bournemouth’s East Cliff. Completed in 1901, it was given by Sir Merton Russell-Cotes to his wife Annie for her 66th birthday. Called East Cliff Hall, the couple filled their exotic seaside villa with souvenirs from their world travels and their collection of fine art.
