Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter, Devon UK

The mammoth task of emptying RAMM was completed on Saturday 3 May, just in time to hand the Museum building over to contractors on 6 May.

The move involved not only the 1.5 million objects in the city's collections but also mountains of furniture, files and fittings. Unlike most major museum moves, the operation was carried out by museum staff. Museum Manager, Camilla Hampshire summed up the achievement.

"A magnificent job... All in all, the fact that we got there by the deadline was down to good planning, a lot of hard work and, most of all, the wonderful team spirit."
