Royal Albert Memorial Museum
RAMM
Exeter's main museum, with free displays on Devon archaeology, world cultures, natural history and art.
The museum opened in 1868. Its Gothic Revival building is beautiful in its own right, and after a 2012 refurbishment it won the British Museum of the Year award. The collection has around one million objects, including relics from Roman Exeter, ethnographic collections from around the world, natural history specimens (best known for a giraffe called Gerald), clocks and silverware, and paintings by Devon artists. Admission is free. It is closed on Mondays and generally open around 10:00 to 17:00. The museum is on Queen Street in Exeter, a five-minute walk from the cathedral.
