Audio guides

The museum has a range of audio guides, all available on this digital guide.

The Treasures of the Museum Trail explores 16 iconic museum objects. It was designed specifically for people with a visual impairment, but can be enjoyed by all. It was created in partnership with Living Options Devon and the Exeter sound studio Sound Gallery.

Sound Journey is a collection of sound pieces that bring together ideas and creative responses to museum objects that help you look at them differently and playfully. It was created in collaboration with sound artist Gemma Nash and project partners Magic Carpet, Pelican Project, CEDA and Learn to Live: 19-25.

The Mindful Museum audio guide encourages visitors to explore the museum at a slower and more mindful pace. This resource was created with students and tutors from the Devon Recovery Learning Community, a Recovery College of Devon Partnership NHS Trust.

Easy read guide

The easy read guide clearly explains exhibits, using images and short sentences. You can access the guide online   or collect a paper copy from Garden Reception.

Ear defenders

The museum has a number of ear defenders that can be borrowed for free. Ear defenders are ideal for visitors with autism or sensory processing issues who are sensitive to noise and certain sounds. Ear defenders help to reduce these sounds and keep visitors from getting overstimulated.

RAMMBingo cards

A collection of eight fun activity cards, co-designed by local people with disabilities, are available free of charge at Queen Street and Garden Reception for any audience to enjoy. Or you can download your own.
