Memory Box Membership

Reading Museum has created an exciting reminiscence service. Designed for older members of the local community our Memory Boxes contain objects from the Museum collections that spark recollections.

We have over 40 Memory Boxes covering a range of themes including 1950s Home Life, A Night Out, Royalty, Holiday and Home Medicine. Original objects, photographs, documents, smells and sounds draw the user back in time and place. These boxes are a valuable resource for the local community in Reading. They are available to health and social services professionals for use with individuals or groups.

Membership is open to care homes and organisations in the Reading area. Please ensure you have contacted the learning team to arrange your membership before purchasing. All members must also attend the memory box training sessions which are offered online.

More details are on the Reading Museum website.
