Museums On Wheels

Our rolling programme, Museums on Wheels, takes The MERL and Reading Museum on the road to events across Reading’s communities. Made possible thanks to the Museums Partnership Reading funding from Arts Council England, Museums on Wheels brings the museums to you in a collection-sharing roadshow, offering hands-on opportunities and activities. The content of Museums on Wheels is adapted to connect with the events, offering sometimes surprising and inspiring insights into our collections and community connections.

In 2025, we are excited that our Museums on Wheels are rolling out to the following events. Please see event weblinks for up to date information.

In partnership with Reading Libraries
