Our Green Stories Gallery Tours – October

Curator of MERL Collections, Dr Ollie Douglas, will be joined by a different specialist for each of these tours. Together they will take visitors on a short conversational trip through the galleries, exploring our collections, and sharing Green Stories about environment, climate action, social justice, and the life and future of the planet. 

Each tour will last about 45 minutes and will culminate in a pop-up display or an opportunity to peek behind the scenes. At the end of the session there’ll be a chance to ask questions and to chat with Ollie and his guest.

For this month’s tour Ollie will be joined by artists Rob and Harriet Fraser to search for traces of upland commons in galleries and to share stories of people, nature, tradition, community, and livelihood from their current exhibition, Labour of Love.

These events are convened as part of the Our Green Stories environmental campaign by Museums Partnership Reading.
