Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum is open as usual as work gets underway to repair the roof at the iconic building.
Earlier this year it was revealed that RAMM had been awarded £498,000 funding for roof repair works on the Victorian building in Queen Street.
RAMM was one of four museums in the region to benefit from funding for “urgent museum maintenance and infrastructure works”.
The museum will remain open throughout the entirety of the works, although some individual galleries will need to close temporarily while work is taking place.
As expected, there’s plenty happening during half term and to celebrate Halloween at RAMM.
On Friday 27 October visitors can jump into the dark and spooky world of RAMM at night. Follow the Cave Critters trail with a torch to find your way through darkened galleries, watching out for giant creepy crawlies.
Visitors can make their own glow-in-the-dark cave critter to take home. They should wear dark clothing and come along to the glow-in-the-dark face painting station where they will be turned into a creature of the underworld.
RAMM is currently hosting the free Hollow Earth exhibition – Art, Caves and the Subterranean Imaginary.
Hollow Earth is a major thematic art exhibition bringing together a wide range of responses to the image and idea of the cave. It includes painting, photography, sculpture, and video, as well as objects from RAMM’s collection, from ancient history through to modern and contemporary art.
