The Museum of English Rural Life is one of the best things to do in Reading. Whether on your own or with friends and family, discover our new immersive galleries, research our collections, refresh in our café and relax in our garden.

Due to the COVID 19 situation, the Museum is currently closed to the public. We have put together some suggestions for a Virtual Visit, and are running our Friday Fledglings and other events online. 

We are a part of the University of Reading and work with Reading Museum as the Arts Council England-funded Museums Partnership Reading.
