Follow Exeter’s story through archaeology, then change direction into natural history, world cultures or art. RAMM is large enough for a morning but works just as well when you choose a few galleries and stop before museum fatigue sets in. Its position on Queen Street makes it a particularly practical first stop from Exeter Central station.
