Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, History museum in Exeter, England.
The Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery is a museum in Exeter that brings together natural history objects, archaeological findings, and artworks. The collections are spread across multiple galleries displaying art, historical artifacts, and scientific specimens from different periods and cultures.
The building opened in 1868 as a memorial to Prince Albert and has displayed collections of regional and international interest since its founding. Over time, its galleries expanded and exhibitions evolved to include more types of objects and cultural representations.
The building displays artworks and objects that reflect Devon's historical connections to the wider world through trade and people. Visitors can trace these relationships through paintings, sculptures, and artifacts from different continents.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, and entry to the permanent collection is free. The various galleries are connected by open passages, making it easy to move through the entire collection.
The building was constructed from local Heavitree stone using Victorian Gothic architecture, giving it a character that frames the collections within. This distinctive stone and the bold style make the building itself part of what visitors experience.
