Oscar Wilde spent two years at the prison after being convicted in 1895 of gross indecency – effectively for being gay.
He spent the last three years of his life in exile in France, where he composed his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, describing an execution at the prison.
The building has not been a functioning prison for over a decade, but it’s connection to Oscar Wilde has meant its become a pilgrimage for many people, from writers and the LGBTQ+ community.
There are 20 pieces in the augmented reality exhibition, with about 50 online.
