Art Stories online exhibition

Every picture tells a story. Some the artist leaves for you to find. Some you can make up for yourself. 

Art Stories includes many exciting contemporary paintings, photographs, prints and sculptures such as pieces by John Piper and Cornelia Parker. Others tell older stories of Reading people and places.  

Explore the gallery through writer’s mini stories inspired by the artworks or via factual information about the creations. What would you be inspired to write?  

The exhibition showcases recent additions to Reading Museum’s collection including works acquired by Reading Foundation for Art, a remarkable charity which has been collecting art for the town for fifty years.
