Huge mosaics from the abandoned Roman town near Silchester
are displayed in this naturally lit space, an ideal spot to pause and relax on
your visit. Here you can contemplate the most-complete mosaics from the Roman
town and enjoy the modern ceramics of Alan Caiger-Smith, produced at the
Aldermaston Pottery. Caiger-Smith was inspired by the Silchester collection
when he visited Reading Museum as a child in the 1950's. A glass
lift runs through the space, giving excellent views of the mosaics.
