—————————————————————

Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum.

This exotic seaside villa was built by hoteliers, Annie and Merton Russell-Cotes in 1901, as their home. Filled with their extraordinary collection of British paintings and sculptures, as well as souvenirs from their travels around the world. It is a unique Victorian survival in Bournemouth. The house and collection stand testimony to Annie and Merton’s love for each other and passion for collecting. On their deaths in 1921, they gave the house and its collections to the people of Bournemouth to enjoy forever.

This grand art gallery and museum stands in a premium spot atop the town’s East Cliff in a Grade II listed building in Art Nouveau style originally known as East Cliff Hall. It was built in 1897 as a commission by Merton Russell-Cotes, the owner of the neighbouring Royal Bath Hotel as a birthday present for his wife Annie and the first phase was completed in 1901.

Six years later Annie donated it and its contents to the town as a museum and Merton contributed his fine art collection and valuable keepsakes from his foreign travels. In return, the pair were made honorary freemen of the town. They continued adding to the collection and maintaining it until their deaths and in 1922 the Borough of Bournemouth assumed ownership, renaming it after the benefactors as the arts gallery and museum that is here today.
