“Wiv Luv Larry” runs from Saturday, 30 March, until Saturday, 2 June 2024, at the Riversley Park building.

The updated exhibition, celebrating the centenary of local comic legend Larry Grayson, is on for a limited period this spring.

Visitors can learn about his life in his own words and the exhibition features the letters he wrote to superfan Pauline as well as numerous images and ephemera collected by Margaret Kane.

The exhibition will also feature his big red book from This is Your Life as well as many rarely seen private photographs on loan from his nephew Mike Malyon.

The display includes a Dress Up Larry, bow tie interactive and colouring sheets which celebrate Larry’s always dapper appearance.

Cllr Sue Markham, Portfolio Holder for Public Services, said:

“If you missed this exhibition the first time round, this is now an exciting opportunity to come and view it.

“It is fascinating reading Larry’s letters to one of his biggest fans and gaining that personal insight into his life.”

Remember, as with all our shows, admission is free, though donations are welcomed and there are also our other displays to enjoy throughout the building.

The building will be closed on Wednesday 20 March, while new flooring is installed.

While at the Museum, why not check out our temporary exhibitions.

For opening hours, visit the Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery webpage.
