RAMM has announced a new programme of work with artists living in Exeter: PSU. They use social, collaborative processes to create participatory and performative artwork. Assisted by curators, they will develop two new art commissions inspired by RAMM’s 2019 theme ‘migration’ and its rich collections.

The scientific importance of the 15,000 exotic land snail shells donated to RAMM by enigmatic Victorian shell collector, Miss Juliana Emma Linter, is only just coming to light. She amassed most of her collection between 1890 and 1909, buying shells at auction and exchanging them with many of most recognised European mollusc scientists of the day.
