Highlights of West Berkshire Museum Collection
The Stories We Tell
WEST Berkshire Museum remains closed to the public for now. However, a new exhibition called The Stories We Tell will be launched when the museum reopens.
It will display folklore stories relating to places and people of West Berkshire and will also include objects that have a connection to local folklore events or with a legendary or mythological narrative. The exhibition will explore the relationship between fact and fiction and truths and untruths within stories. A few of the objects on display will include a modern Hand of Glory, a Festival of Flowers programme and some shoes found beneath floorboards.
