Art Stories

Every picture tells a story. Some the artist leaves for you to find. Some you can make up for yourself.

Art Stories includes many exciting contemporary paintings, photographs, prints and sculptures such as pieces by Pablo Picasso and Cornelia Parker. Others tell older stories of Reading people and places. Some of them have inspired writers to slip their own mini-stories into the gallery to delight you and you are invited to do the same.

The exhibition showcases recent additions to Reading Museum’s collection including works acquired by Reading Foundation for Art, a remarkable charity which has been collecting art for the town for fifty years.
