Housed in a magnificent Victorian building designed by architect John Hayward, the museum has diverse collections of both local and international importance.
RAMM won the Art Fund Prize 2012 for its magnificent multi-million-pound development project, which reinterpreted the museum's collection with cutting-edge curation.
The new displays aim to do more than represent RAMM's collections: they aim to stimulate thoughts and ideas, seek opinions, start conversations and encourage debate.
Permanent collection
RAMM's collection consists of over one million individual objects and specimens from all across the world, organised around thematically to include displays of antiquities, ethnography, natural history and decorative and fine arts.
