COVENTRY Rugby’s 150th anniversary is being showcased at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.
The museum has launched a display which brings together a collection of artefacts, photographs and memorabilia of the clubs history.
Visitors to Herbert will be able to watch a short film which highlights key moments in the clubs journey, which started in 1874.
Martin Roberts said: “The club has been an integral part of the city’s sporting fabric and we hope this display brings a sense of pride and nostalgia for both rugby fans and the local community.”
Coventry Rugby chair Jon Sharp added: “Our club has a long-established position as part of this city’s fabric and just how closely connected we are with the local community is evident within this fabulous display.
“Coventry has always held sport close to its heart and generations of Coventrians have grown up knowing that ‘Cov’ has a special place in rugby’s history – the Herbert has showcased this brilliantly.”
The display will be open to the public at the Herbert until next year.
