Storytelling week (1st Feb - 7th Feb)

What does Coventry mean to you? Have you got your own special 'Coventry story'? Have you any interesting memories or anecdotes related to Coventry? If you wish you tell us come along to the Museum next week from 1st February to 7th February and tell us 'Your Coventry Story'.
It's National Storytelling Week and we would like to celebrate it with you and your family. There's loads of fun storytelling activities you can join in. Follow a trail around the Museum and turn the clues into a storybook or a comic strip. Or listen to the story of Lady Godiva told by her modern-day counterpart Pru Poretta.

This is a celebration of the art of storytelling and the pleasure of listening to stories or reading them. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to revisit your childhood and the magical world of stories!

Ghost Town VIP launch night 14th January 2010

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!
