Exeter, UK.- On December 15th, Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) reopens after a multi-million pound refurbishment with the galleries, facilities and services expected of a truly modern museum. Key to RAMM’s project is the way the developed museum will engage with people. The displays aim to do more than re-present the collections, they intend to stimulate thoughts and ideas, seek opinions and contributions, start conversations and encourage debate, making the Royal Albert Memorial Museum home to a million thoughts. When it reopens, RAMM will be inviting people to come together in a comfortable, social space and to engage in a dialogue with the collection and with each other. Visitors will be able to experience the splendour of the original Victorian spaces and to see newly-revealed architectural features. Improved services will make a visit to RAMM more comfortable and a new entrance will allow access from Northernhay and Rougemont Gardens. RAMM’s fabulous new displays will do more than represent its collections. They aim to stimulate thoughts and ideas, seek opinions, start conversations and encourage debate.
