Fine art

RAMM's Fine Art collection comprises over 8,000 objects in an eclectic mix of paintings, watercolours, drawings, prints and sculpture, representing important British artists and also celebrating the Museum's location in the South West.

The collection is strong in portraiture and has a large collection of landscape paintings, primarily of Devon and Exeter by local and national artists. Later the collecting policy broadened to take in other British and European art, including Victorian. There is also a collection of 20th century artworks.
