Russell-Cotes House and Museum, Bournemouth, Main Hall
The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum is a stunning, Grade II* listed Victorian villa on Bournemouth’s East Cliff, originally built in 1901 as a lavish birthday gift from Sir Merton Russell-Cotes to his wife, Lady Annie. It serves as a unique museum-house, showcasing their extensive collection of world-class art, sculpture, and international travel souvenirs within opulent, themed rooms and the event offers a rare opportunity to experience the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum in the evening.

The following items cannot be brought into the building:
-
- Large objects (anything larger than a rucksack)
- Weapons, firearms and ammunition
