From the Wikipedia article
Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM) is a museum and art gallery in Exeter, Devon, the largest in the city. It holds significant and diverse collections in areas such as zoology, anthropology, fine art, local and foreign archaeology and geology. Altogether the RAMM holds over one million objects, of which a small percentage are on permanent public display. It is a National Portfolio Organisation under the Arts Council England-administered programme of strategic investment, which means it received funding from 2012 to 2015 to develop its services. Founded in 1868, the RAMM is housed in a Gothic Revival building of local New Red Sandstone that has undergone several extensions. It most recently reopened on 15 December 2011 after a redevelopment lasting four years and costing £24M, and has since received numerous awards.
