New gallery 'Ghost Town' opens tomorrow

We are all ready and raring to open the doors of our new gallery 'Ghost Town? What happened to Coventry Car Industry? 1980 - 2010' to you. Come along for a truly incredible museum experience as you findout about how the Coventry car factories went from boom to bust .Get up close with the Peugeots and the Jags of the era and watch interviews of ex-workers from the Ryton plant. Immerse yourself in the red and black tones of the gallery which will add to that emotional experience! Finally, you get to take a vote on whether the car factories should have kept running or close down as eventually happened in the very original Boardroom of the Rootes Group/Chrysler/Peugeot Talbot companies which was rescued from the Ryton Plant before it was taken down and has been rebuilt in the gallery complete with the original table and oak panelled walls.
Be the first to take this journey through Coventry's living history!
