Herbert Art Gallery & Museum

Excellent exhibition great value compared to London & just as good. Fantastic wildlife photos across a wide range of animals. Location near city centre lots more to see as well aa the photos. Also recommend transport museum nearby

Free entrance to the site which is amazing. The exhibitions are interesting, lower floor wws about the history of coventry and theres a big diplodocus fossil on display. The second floor most interesting exhibition was about godiva and her story. Very suitable for bringing children as there’s a lot of interactive things for them to do here and the staff are friendly.

The art collections featuring both local and internationally renowned artists. Learning about Coventry's industrial past and its resilience during challenging times was both enlightening and humbling. The attention given to showcasing the city's history, from its medieval origins to its modern-day significance, was commendable.It also offers a delightful encounter with Dippy, the life-sized cast of a Diplodocus dinosaur, serves as a captivating centerpiece in the museum's collection.The museum's dedication to community engagement was evident through its inclusive programming and interactive activities. From workshops to educational events, the Museum actively encourages creativity and fosters a deep appreciation for the arts.The welcoming and knowledgeable staff further enriched my visit. Their passion for the museum and its collections was contagious, and they readily answered questions, providing valuable insights into the exhibits.

Amazing to see Dippy again - really well presented in a wonderful new exhibition room and the main highlight of the museum. Excellent exhibition about Lady Godiva. Lots of other interesting exhibitions. A good cafe for coffee and snacks.

Great history of Coventry on the lower floor with lots if activities for children. Dippy the dinosaur is currently on show and the was a lovely sensory area for under 5s. Lots of more abstract artwork on show aswell. Free entry too!

Went primarily to see Dippy the Dinosaur but visited some of the galleries which offered varied and interesting exhibits. Would recommend but probably very busy during school holidays

I went on a Friday afternoon to visit with my partner whom I've been with for a few years. We originally went to this museum 8 years ago early on in our relationship and had a wonderful time so decided to go again on a round trip of visiting places we'd been to before on dates. What can I say, the staff are lovely and very helpful to everyone (at least those on shift). I witnessed a gentleman that approached a woman who looked confused to guide her where she wanted to be, took her there and opened the doors for her. The front staff were lovely too, from the bag checker to the front desk staff and the personnel dotted around the museum. All of them were polite, helpful and with big smiles on their faces. It's free to enter with the option of donation. I believe from my terrible memory from when I lived in cov 7 years ago, that there may be chargeable exhibits on occasion and they were all very reasonable. With the sheer amount of history and local knowledge here it is more than worth a visit! 5 stars well deserved!

A beautiful wildlife photography exhibition by famous photographers and people of different ages groups who'd won competitions. It's there until April, so go and enjoy and learn something new. It's £7.50 for an adult but we'll worth it.It has also got Dippy the dinosaur (skeleton) downstairs which is interesting and kids will love it.

Good selection of historic artefacts focusing on the local area. Small art collection. Cafe was fine.The area where Dippy is displayed is a little bit too small to get good views and photos from the side, but nice to see this cultural icon being exhibited outside London.Staff were very helpful and friendly.

One of the few cultural places left that offer free entry. Always has something interesting to look at and easy to get around even for someone physically challenged.Had a nice sensory room for kids which my youngest enjoyed whilst the others looked at some of the galleries.It had something for all generations and the current Dippy the Dinosaur exhibition was interesting enough. It's there for a couple more years and families with younger kids should go whilst they can as mine enjoyed posing with Dippy. Had to book in advance but free tickets and ended up buying a 'VIP' ticket for the youngest which included a voucher for the cafe, a soft dinosaur toy and a book about Dippy which brought some happiness.Please use and leave a little spare change or smaller places like this may die out.
