Reading’s museums hold a vast array of objects that represent the lives of many different people. Like the diverse population of the town, these artefacts carry with them a diaspora of experiences. Hear the stories of these objects at Reading Museum and The MERL brought to life through the eyes of actors in Rank and File Theatre‘s ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ project.
For each museum, you can find the objects which inspired the actors marked on the floorplan at the beginning of the online exhibition.
Follow along with each audio story separately as you make your way through the audio trail. Some items also feature a video recording of the Rank and File actor telling their story.
