CV Life
CV Life provides a vast leisure and cultural offer to all communities in Coventry and visitors to the city, offering everything from attractions, museums, leisure centres, educational programmes to community outreach projects. CV Life manages four of Coventry’s finest cultural visitor attractions: Coventry Transport Museum, Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, The Lunt Roman Fort and The Old Grammar School. Between them, the attractions proudly tell stories of Coventry’s unique history to over 500,000 visitors per year from around the world.
Museums and cultural destinations all have difficulty with displaying their entire collection and CV Life is no different and is working on the documentation and conservation of the collections ahead of the move to the City Centre Cultural Gateway. They are using this time to build more awareness of their collections generally. Launching on 11 May, the Collecting Coventry exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum will include a variety of collection material managed by Culture Coventry Trust, that reflect 75 years of collecting efforts. The exhibition will provide the opportunity to gain feedback from visitors and carry out evaluation about the types of collections policies and programming that visitors most want to see to inform future plans.
