Reading Museum - MERL
The Museum of English Rural Life houses the most comprehensive national collection of objects, books and archives relating to the history of food, farming and the countryside.The collections have designated status ensuring their importance is recognised nationally and internationally.
The Museum’s exhibition gallery is a light, open space teeming with objects and designed to draw out some comparisons between village-based society of a century ago and our globalised, high-tech and perhaps unsustainable world of today.The presentation includes films, interactives and things to do and is suitable for all ages.
Integrated Circles have installed audio visual displays throughout the exhibition areas, which replay from their renowned solid-state VideoStores. One of the exhibition centrepieces is a multi video screen and lighting show, which operates from behind tinted glass, illuminating hidden objects during playback.
As a University Museum and as the founder member of the Rural Museums Network, MERL has built up a reputation as the leading authority in its field. It is the sheer quality and scope of the library, archives and object collections that makes MERL exceptional.
Integrated Circles Technical Director Simon Beer said “We are delighted to have been chosen to carry out the audio visual installation at such a prestigious museum. Our VideoStore technology should ensure the displays have years of trouble free operation.”
