It has extensive Prehistoric, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, geology, zoology, natural history, Egyptian, etc, etc, areas, and hosts varied exhibitions. Because Exeter was a Roman city 'Isca', there are interesting artefacts, excavation photos, and often re-enactment 'Roman soldiers' to enjoy.
Fully refurbished after a multimillion pound redevelopment, the new displays showcase the collections and collectors that have helped RAMM to become one of Britain’s finest regional museums. They tell the story of Exeter and Devon from the prehistoric to the present but, more than a local museum, its internationally important world cultures and natural history collections also tell a story of global exploration and collecting in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The splendid Victorian building on Queen Street has been repaired, refurbished and extended preparing it for the 21st century. Original architectural features have been revealed allowing visitors to experience the splendour of the original Victorian spaces and the extension includes a suite of modern, flexible exhibition galleries allowing RAMM to bring to the South West loans and exhibitions from national partners.
A new garden entrance links the Victorian museum to its historic surroundings and the neighbouring gardens. This new entrance offers a leisurely approach to the museum and easy access to the arts centre, library and castle. A new bridge from the entrance leads visitors to the Roman wall and panoramic views of the gardens and the city.
