Museums long ago ceased to be stuffy
rooms full of glass cases containing bits of old pottery
and fossilised bones.
|

Today even most conventional museums including displays
which change but over recent years there has been a
growth in industrial and "living" museums.
Here you can learn about local heritage, get a
feel for how people lived and worked, the hardships they
endured...
Galleries listed include not just civic
galleries displaying publicly owned artworks, but also
privately owned galleries with items for sale.
Not all the
museums and galleries in the Berkshire area are listed.
Please provide details of any we have missed
here.
