    A small room in Reading University, it packs quite a lot of articles in displays. It makes for a quick visit for fans of old history.

    A very nice confined area for the ancient times. each spot is well managed and displays are arranged in perfect order. definitely an upgrade can be suggested.

    Extremely nice collection, well-curated, and right next to the offices of some nice and helpful postgrads. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you're in Reading!

    Nice museum with some really interesting artefacts to look at however very small and maybe a little bit difficult to find and parking in the uni is limited and costs too
