Royal Albert Memorial
Museum, Exeter
The Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery is located within Exeter's historic city centre. The project for its expansion, enhancement and refurbishment allows the creation of a new entrance, shop and double-height reception within its garden setting, and provides new gallery space for temporary exhibitions.
An existing courtyard is covered to form a new space at the heart of the building, and an existing linear route through the museum is roof-lit and extended by a new link bridge which makes new pedestrian connections with the adjacent visitor route along the Roman city wall.
