John Allen, Exeter Cathedral Archaeologist and RAMM’s former Curator of Antiquities will illustrate how these different sources build up to a picture of the city’s Elizabethan homes. Tickets available above or from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum reception in person...
With Dr Anna Whitelock, Senior Lecturer in early modern history at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Elizabeth I acceded to the throne in 1558. At the heart of the new queen’s court lay Elizabeth’s bedchamber, closely guarded by the favoured women who helped her dress, looked after her jewels and shared her bed.

Aotearoa (New Zealand) was one of the last land masses to be discovered by humans. People first arrived there by boat 1,000 years ago and they soon found that they had access to an abundance of resources from three sacred worlds: the land, the sea and the sky.
This display takes a look at a small collection of Māori objects and specimens from the museum’s ethnography and natural history collections and explores how the Māori used these resources in daily life, battle and ceremony.
