Reading the Room: Domestic Interiors in Art is an art exhibition presented by the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum from June 9, 2026, revolving around the theme of "interior space." The exhibition uses the interior of a family home as a thread, placing paintings, prints, and decorative arts together to show how artists from different periods depicted everyday spaces such as living rooms, studies, and dining rooms. The exhibits are from the Russell-Cotes collection and on loan, covering scenes of family life, interior furnishings, and portraits. The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, located in Bournemouth, was founded by Merton and Annie Russell-Cotes in the late 19th century, and the building itself retains a large amount of Victorian interior decoration. The exhibition contrasts with the original spaces within the museum, allowing visitors to see the differences between the "home" depicted by the artists and the actual historical residences. Please note: The exhibition is held in the museum's galleries. Specific opening hours and admission arrangements are subject to on-site announcements by the museum.
