VISITORS of a Reading museum will have the unique opportunity to take part in conversational trips led by specialists.

As part of the Museum of English Rural Life (MERL)’s Our Green Stories Tours series, curator Dr Ollie Douglous will be joined by academics Jenny Chamarette and Mike Goodman.

Dr Chamarette will explore sexuality, organics, queer identities, gardening, the environment, and the many links between the spheres on March 7.

Human geographer Prof Goodman will examine foodscapes, the politics of consumption and food systems past, present and future.

Each tour will last about 45 minutes and culminates in a pop-up display or an opportunity to peek behind the scenes.

There will be a chance to ask Ollie or either guest questions at the end of each session.
