The following temporary exhibitions are taking place at the museum.

"Portrait of a Town" by GRIT

  • 16 November 2024 to 1 February 2025

Grit is a new organisation on the borough’s art scene.  One of their project strands has been Portrait of a Town.  The portraits are being brought together for the first time and displayed within the museum.  Local people were invited to sit for their portraits and these are the results brought together for the first time.  There will be opportunities for visitors to try their own hand at portraiture.

“CONVOY” by Alisha Miller

  • 16 November  to 1 February 2025

 Earlier this year Nuneaton was treated to the spectacle of Alisha Miller’s artwork appearing on a convoy of lorries.  Convoy explores Nuneaton’s innovative industries, its workforce and industrial landscapes.  The works are now reimagined and will appear in the museum alongside a film about the project and some of the research materials Alisha put together on her journey.

"A Lifetime of Art” by Melvyn Gunn

  • 19 October 2024 to 26 January 2025

This retrospective of local artist Melvyn Gunn's work includes watercolours, photography, computer aided designs and collage.
