Made it to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, just before closing. It’s a really special municipal museum - thoughtful and fresh and challenging and modern in all the right ways. Loved it. Also how the digital collection was available/signposted, too. #Exeter

A good survey, and the case for more and closer study of objects is strong (not just in medical history, either).
