Silchester Annexe

The Annexe space focuses on the pottery discovered at the Roman town of Calleva near Silchester. Around 200 pieces are displayed on open storage, highlighting their variety and beauty, and also the impressive scale of the Victorian excavations.
A selection of books is available in the Annexe. These books supplement the Silchester Gallery by providing more information about Roman Britain and the Roman town of Calleva. Books are also available on current temporary exhibitions in the museum. If you are a member of Reading Library you can borrow any book by taking it to the counter in the Museum shop.
