Access Restrictions
The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum is a Grade II* Listed building. We are not able to provide lift access to the upper ground floor because of planning restrictions.
We are an historic house and accredited museum so we have a responsibility to care for the building and its collections.
Because of this:
Visitors are asked to leave large bags in the lockers at the museum entrance.
Prams and Buggies must be left in the buggy rack at the museum entrance.
Bicycles are not permitted in the historic garden.There is a bicycle rack outside the garden gate.
The museum cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to your belongings.
We are really sorry if this affects your visit.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
