The Museum of English Rural Life is owned and managed by the University of Reading. We use our diverse and surprising collection to explore how the skills and experiences of farmers and craftspeople, past and present, can help shape our lives now and into the future. We work alongside rural people, local communities and specialist researchers to create displays and activities that engage with important debates about the future of food and the ongoing relevance of the countryside to all our lives. We were established by academics in the Department of Agriculture in 1951 to capture and record the rapidly changing countryside following World War II. The Museum is based on Redlands Road in a building originally designed by Sir Alfred Waterhouse in 1880 for local businessman Alfred Palmer, of the Huntley & Palmer biscuit company. The house then became St Andrews Hall of Residence in 1911, and in 2005 a modern extension was built onto the house for the Museum. The Museum was awarded £1.8million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) in 2014 for the redevelopment of the galleries, reopening in October 2016. The redevelopment strengthens and renews our links with agriculture as well as enhancing our position in supporting engagement opportunities for students and academics across a wide variety of disciplines, nationally and internationally. The MERL and Reading Museum are currently in a strategic partnership as part of the Arts Council England National Portfolio 2018-2022. As Museums Partnership Reading we work together to provide cultural opportunities for Reading’s young people and diverse communities, through schools, volunteering, digital engagement and exhibitions.

What would it be like if you had limitless amounts of confidence, creativity, and communication skills? If you could learn faster, remember more, problem-solve, and critically think like the greatest minds that ever lived? How would your life be? If  you have ever suffered brain fog, confusion, doubt, procrastination, or stress - NMA is your answer… Our mission is to provide the latest “mindspace” training and development initiatives to corporations, executives, entrepreneurs, and influencers, to meet the challenges of the future of work. We provide a range of advanced proprietary consultancy and innovation training programs based on neuroscience, psychology and social developemnt, to enhance selection, culture change, and outplacement opportunities in line with the fourth industrial revolution. We recognise ROI is primary for key decision makers and investing in people with immediate results is important to achieve maximum returns. As an NGO at core, our focus is on partnering with organisations committed to recognising and developing the latent human potential within their workforce, using a focused scientific process, based on Neuroplastic Mental Acceleration (NMA) [https://councilforhumandevelopment.org/what-is-neuroplastic-mental-acceleration-how-can-it-help-your-business/]. As such, we lead the field in this area, and we know from our extensive research & development, that if you’re not investing into the latent human potential of your staff right now or your own mind space — to develop the agile thinking you need to meet the challenges of the future, as an individual or organisation, you are definitely already way behind the curve. The future is agile, critical, creative, empathetic, and co-creative; innovative thinking is the key – so, are you up to the challenge?
