Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum (Bournemouth)
The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum is a fascinating collection in Bournemouth.
Sir Merton Russell-Cotes`s wife inherited her father`s fortune, amassed by cotton spinning, in 1879.
He proceeded, after two years travelling the world, to build a striking house, with aspects of many different styles, not always easily complementing each other, in which he hosed his collection, acquired at enormous expense.
