Learning at RAMM

RAMM’s world-class collections and ambitious programming ensure that the museum is a place of discovery which encourages everyone to be curious, and inspires us to shape a better future. Our museum is a service of Exeter City Council, its major funder. RAMM is also an Arts Council England National Portfolio organisation. The museum runs a busy schools programme, as well as providing a range of online learning resources and resources for home educators.

Our strengths

Education highlights available in the museum and from home include:

• Arts Award Discover is a certificate and introductory award for children and young people. It is also a creative and fun way to find out about RAMM and the many different things the museum has in it. The awarding body is Trinity College London. It costs £5 per Arts Award booklet, and there are two levels to choose from, one aimed at 6-10 year olds, the other at 11-25s. Find out more.
• Recently launched, our Transatlantic Slave Trade online learning resources are informed by the 2022 exhibition 'In Plain Sight: Transatlantic slavery and Devon'. If you are teaching or learning about the transatlantic slave trade, these resources will help you. You could deepen your knowledge about the local impact and Devon’s involvement by exploring some of the information and real objects in the RAMM in Exeter. Find out more.
• See Things Differently cards can be found in the exhibition Hollow Earth until January 2024. These fun, illustrated cards provide prompts for you to respond to what you see in the exhibition and around the museum, with space to draw, doodle, write and use your imagination.
