A fantastic FREE day out for all the family. In the heart of Coventry city centre, this huge Museum is home to the world’s largest collection of British road transport, and a visit whisks you away into a world of stories of real people, real passions and real hope.

Discover the stories behind the people who made Coventry the centre of the world’s motor and cycle industries, and get up close and personal with the actual vehicles that defined some of history’s most important moments. The Museum is
laid out as a journey through time – you’ll wander 19^th Century streets and discover the first bicycles, carriages and cars, then explore the first car factories and witness their wartime destruction in the Blitz Experience. The journey continues through the Boomtown, Spirit of Speed and Ghost Town galleries to bring you right up to the present day.

Come face to face with Royal cars, military vehicles, and cars that played vital parts in their drivers’ life stories – none more so than the current Land Speed Record holding vehicle, ThrustSSC, which lives at the Museum. You can even experience for yourself what it’s like to travel through the sound barrier at over 760mph in the ThrustSSC Simulator.
