We visited on a wet March afternoon, 4 adults. The giraffe and elephant exhibition had me (at 68 years of age) wide eyed with wonder! Whilst not a fan of taxidermy, I just couldn't believe the size of the giraffe (never having been near a live one). The museum is extremely interesting and we spend a lovely afternoon viewing the exhibits (of particular interest, The Seaton hoard as it was found at the bottom of my uncle's garden in a field)! A great way to spend time, whatever age you are. Recommended!

We visited this museum on a showery Sunday morning and were extremely impressed with the quality and range of exhibits. Knocks socks off other provincial museums which charge an entry fee. If looking for something to do in Exeter, look no further, just go :)

Amazing collection of historical artefacts! The items were amazing to see so glad we went to see it! Shame the Roman wall wasn’t available to see due to maintenance but 100% worth going free admission too so be sure to buy a coffee or the odd fridge magnet

The ground floor is concerned with Exeter's past ranging from the geological to the people's historical events. Upstairs is a treasure trove of artifacts from all over the world, a personal favourite was specimens dredged up by the HMS Challenger expedition in 1872-6. This contributed to scientific knowledge and was noted by the author Conan Doyle who based his leading charecter Prof. Challenger in his book 'The Lost World'. There are also many displays of clothing and goods from native peoples and taxidermy animals and birds.

Fantastic in every respect, I’m so glad we visited and would encourage everyone to go, so many amazing galleries. The natural history with the specimens and fossils was sublime, the collection of insects incredible, the art/history of the doomed Arctic exhibition in 1921 was fascinating, the geological timeline, prehistory and Roman galleries all excellent. We spent 3 hours and we’d love to go back. All the staff extremely helpful and friendly, excellent cafe and gift shop. Real highlight of our trip.

Visited on Tuesday 17/01/23 as part of a day trip to Exeter. Here at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery listed as RAMM. It's a free museum and appears to focus on the history of the area in terms of its geology, ancient history, society, and industry, as well as the achievements of those sons and daughters from the area in the wider world. As an outsider, I still found it interesting and would be proud to have this facility in my area.

We took our 6 year old grand-daughter and we all loved the museum. There are some bizarrely fascinating exhibits and I was delighted to see the collection of beetles from large down to something so tiny it looked like a grain of sand. Some good explanations of the attitude changes over the ages that helped answer a 5 year old's questions on such topics as why hunters shot giraffes and polar bears. 5 stars for that! Then there was the seriously awful experience at the cafe. We decided to have toasties. What we got were two slices of dry brown pre-sliced bread, lightly toasted on the outside with a slice of poor quality processed cheese inside and a slice of slightly sweaty cheap processed meat masquerading as ham. Possibly the worst 'toastie' I have ever had the misfortune to have had served to me. Our grand-daughter just wouldn't eat it so we had to buy her a later lunch elsewhere! Please, this wasn't cheap at more than £15 so you should be able to do much much better.

Visit here annually and on leaving we always think “What a great museum”. Visited Saturday lunchtime with 2 grandchildren (8+5), meet by 2 v friendly young guides at the door who chatted to the girls and gave them some puzzle sheets, lots of interesting items to look at esp the Devon Hoard and insect displays. Kept the girls interested for a good 2 hours. Many thanks, we’ll be back

This is an excellent free museum and well worth a visit. The museum is within the city centre and particularly close to the Guildhall shopping centre and car park. Entry is free but donations welcomed. The main entrance is up some steps but there are alternative access points and lifts in the building. Worth checking before visiting. There is a good selection of permanent galleries with numerous artefacts of global importance, including Egypt and natural history. More importantly there is a decent area dedicated to Exeter and Devon and it’s story over millions of years. The static displays were supplemented by some interactive tools, most of which worked and there were a lot of links to online information via QR codes so you could find out more. There were guides around the museum but I felt it was geared towards the online option. To get the best experience I’d probably ask for advice at the start as to where to start. The cafe was nice enough for a quick break for tea and cakes and a pleasant environment to sit in and it also contains information on some of the positive community work that the museum is involved in. I’d recommend spending at least 2 hours to see everything in a decent level of detail.

My husband and I work in museums in the U.S. So we know good museums when we see them. This is one. They have done a stellar job in reinterpreting their collection which includes everything from history, to art, to natural history. We particularly appreciated how they have interpreted their collection of items brought back from colonizing expeditions to places like Africa. Well done all around!
