Art gallery located in Bournemouth, on the South-West of the UK bears the name of its founder Merton Russell-coats. Unusual house with turrets and galleries, built in 1901 in the art Nouveau style, was a gift of sir Russell-coats his wife Annie. Like many wealthy people of that time, Chet Russell-Kotsou traveled extensively around the world, and from their travels, they brought many unusual and interesting things. They passed the house and art and other collections donated to the city even during his life.
