Event Information
This year at The MERL we are focussing on a theme of ‘CARE.’ Through our projects and programming, we will address ideas of ‘care’ in relation to a range of current issues, including the climate crisis, guarding green space, the future of farming and food security, caring for our collections and caring for people including our staff, volunteers and community.
Learn about our focus for 2022 CARE: highlighting how we take care of rural heritage, the countryside’s future, and each other https://merl.reading.ac.uk/whats-on/care/
Reading Museum and The Museum of English Rural Life are thrilled to have recently launched ‘Museums, My Way’, a series of sessions for neurodiverse visitors of all ages.
These sessions, developed with Autism Berkshire, provide a safe environment to explore the museums at times when they are usually closed to the public or are less busy. There are facilitated activities on themes inspired by the museums’ collections, and a quiet break-out space. Siblings, families, carers and friends are all welcome.
This session will be on the theme of 'Biscuits and Food' and will include:
- reduced volume of gallery interactive sounds
- sensory backpacks and ear defenders
- break out spaces
- themed facilitated hands-on activity
- themed gallery trail
All activities are optional and you can visit at any point within the event times.
‘Museums, My Way’ is part of The MERL and Reading Museum’s Arts Council funded programme, Museums Partnership Reading.
Additional information:
Admission free. Booking essential.
