Art of the Craft

We're spreading our wings this year with more artisans, expanded exhibition space in Museum Galleries, live music and the new "Artist's Café." It's a great place for holiday shopping!

Admission per day is $8 Adults (18-60), $6 Seniors/Children/Students (w/ID), and Museum Members free. Join at the door! Get free admission and all other benefits. All proceeds benefit the Reading Public Museum.
