The Reading Museum

Today we visited the Reading Museum to see an exhibition of “kinetic dinosaurs.”  They are made of metal, and you can move them with joy sticks or pulleys, and kids were loving it.  The dinosaurs, although made of scrap metal pieces, were representative of actual skeletons of real dinosaurs.  It was accurately billed a combination of art and science.

The Reading Museum also had quite a collection of European art, a good sample of Pennsylvania impressionists, and a nice display of native American artifacts.  Plus, the gift shop had earrings in the shape of small pretzels, so fitting for Berks County.


One section was devoted to Pennsylvania Dutch art and artifacts, but we skipped that one.  We see enough of that stuff at home.
