Reading A to Z Exhibition

05 December 2009 to 18 April 2010

Reading has too often been dismissed as being a modern place with little history. A new exhibition at the Museum of Reading shows that our 'much-maligned town' is a fascinating and diverse place - with its own unique character and long history.

Each letter of the alphabet, from A to Z, is illustrated by some well-known and some more unexpected objects and artworks from the Museum's extensive collection of local history, art and archaeology. So expect to find everything from a barber's shop to a Boar's Head in this exhibition.

It's also your chance to share your views and memories by telling us what you would have included in the A to Z.

The Museum of Reading is on Blagrave Street, and is open Tuesday - Saturday (10am - 4pm) and Sunday (11am - 4pm).  Closed Mondays except Bank Holiday Mondays (11am - 4pm).
