Reading Museum has been a cornerstone of cultural enrichment since 1883, offering engaging learning opportunities that inspire and connect the community. Located in the beautiful Victorian Town Hall of Reading, the museum proudly showcases a diverse collection that includes archaeology, art, natural history, and ethnography, specifically focusing on objects related to Reading's history and environment. The museum's respected school loans service, established in 1911, allows students to interact with real artifacts, promoting hands-on learning.

Engagement with the community is central to the museum's mission, supporting initiatives that foster creativity and inclusivity. Beyond its primary offerings, Reading Museum collaborates with local partners, including the University of Reading’s Museum of English Rural Life, to enhance cultural opportunities for all demographics. Their commitment to environmental sustainability is evident in their operational practices and educational outreach, including the 'Our Green Stories' campaign. With a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, Reading Museum continues to celebrate and preserve the rich heritage of Reading while encouraging a collective vision for a sustainable future.
