Rat Trail

About this event

Can you spot the 12 rats hiding in our galleries?

Each rat wears a unique costume representing a different experience of countryside childhood: from farmhands, to chimney climbers, to a countryside evacuee.

Pick up your rat spotter sheet at the entrance to the galleries. Once you’ve found as many rats as you can, bring it to the front desk for a sticker of your choice.

We’re refreshing the rats’ hiding places every couple of months, so be sure to come back and find them all over again!

The Rat Trail has been made possible through the generous support of Museums Partnership Reading and Arts Council England.
