Coventry is home to the country's finest collection of British road vehicles.

The Coventry Transport Museum in Millennium Place has become one of the area's major attractions.

Take a closer look at the new-look museum by clicking on the links below to launch 360 views of the collections.

The transport museum's huge collection contains so many rare and important vehicles that it has been designated a collection of national importance.

The museum is home to 230 cars and commercial vehicles, 250 cycles and 90 motorcycles - all of which were built in the UK and many made in Coventry, home of the motor industry.

The museum is home to several displays which chart the history of the UK motor industry, from its birth at the turn of the 20th century to the present day.

Included are the golden age of touring through the 20s and 30s, the part road transport played during the war and the subsequent boom and bust of the motoring economy.

You can also take a trip through the past on two wheels through the museum's collection of motorbikes and cycles.

Unlike many museums, the Coventry Transport Museum isn't just about the past.

Visitors can hop into their time machine and take a look at vehicles yet-to-come in the Futures Gallery.

You can take a look at some designs and prototype vehicles as well as creating your own vehicle with the modelling equipment and design terminals.

Well-kept secret

The museum has been based in Coventry for many years but remained a secret to many visitors because of its inconspicuous entrance.

All that changed with the regeneration of the Hales Street area, which saw a multi-million refurbishment of the museum which re-opened in spring 2004.

It's not over yet though. More money is being pumped into making the museum even bigger!

Many of the vehicles in the collection are currently in storage - including its buses - because the museum simply isn't big enough to take them all.

So the next phase of the museum's development will see the buildings expand to take the whole collection.

Museum details

The museum is open from 10am to 5pm every day, apart from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Admission is free.
