Attractions
Reading hosts a number of excellent museums. A visit to Reading Abbey Quarter should start at Reading Museum, which tells the story of the foundation of the Abbey. It also boasts the only full-size replica of the Bayeux Tapestry. The MERL - the Museum of English Rural Life, is the national museum dedicated to food, farming and countryside. The Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology and the Cole Museum of Zoology (re-opening in a new home in 2021) are both on the University of Reading campus in Reading. Reading is also the UK capital of Escape Rooms with indoor and outdoor games available across a number of venues.
