The place
The Reading Public Museum & Neag Planetarium brings art, science and culture together under one roof, with collections ranging from an Egyptian mummy and dinosaurs to works by Degas, Rodin and Warhol; the site also includes an arboretum (source: reading-pa-research.md).
It sits outside the downtown core at 500 Museum Rd — a reminder that Reading's marquee sights are spread out and a car is the practical way to reach them. Admission is mid-range on the source's price scale ($$) (source: reading-pa-research.md).
