The museum tells the story of Reading’s two rivers, the Thames and the Kennet and occupies two former industrial buildings. The centrepiece is Dunton’s gypsy caravan which was built on the Kennet banks and is housed in the Screen House together with a video about gypsy life and a medieval mill wheel found when the Oracle, the nearby shopping showpiece, was built. The Turbine House spans the Kennet with waterside views of the town centre. It’s home to preserved turbine machinery and occasional summertime art exhibitions and events.
