Discover Exeter's fine art collection

The fine art collection at RAMM is rich and varied. It consists of over 7000 paintings, prints, drawings, watercolours, miniatures and sculptures dating from the 1400s to the present day.

Works on display will span over 450 years and will change from time to time to show the breadth and diversity of the collection. It will include new acquisitions and visitor favourites as well as works rarely displayed before. Watercolours, photographs and prints may change more frequently to protect their colours from excessive light exposure.

Featured images: Portrait of a Man in a Red Suit, artist unknown, oil on canvas, 1740-1780 and The Fair Toxophilites, William Powell Frith (1819-1909), oil on canvas, 1872.
