About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

This museum was once a birthday present from Merton Russell-Cotes to his wife. A seaside villa full of history and filled with beautiful objects from their travels around the world. It really is as if the house has been locked away in time and never changed. Now you can take the family and enjoy what they would have enjoyed many years ago. There are plenty of fascinating exhibitions and workshops to enjoy and events planned for all year round. The garden is especially lovely complete with a Victorian stone grotto, Japanese garden and fountain.
