Coventry Transport Museum (formerly known as the Museum of British Road Transport) is a transport museum, located in Coventry city centre, England. It houses the largest collection of British-made road transport held in public ownership. It is located in Coventry because the city was previously the centre of the British car industry.
The museum has collections and exhibitions containing a variety of musical apparatus, most notably from Coventry-born and based musicians and musical groups. These include an exhibit on 19th century comedian T. E. Dunville , a 1960s sound booth and the piano played by Hilda Woodward of the band Lieutenant Pigeon . [ 5 ]
