Grant WW2 Museum
About This Museum
People come to the Grant WW2 Museum not just to see artifacts, but to truly connect with the personal stories of a generation that lived through the conflict. You'll find yourself immersed in a surprisingly intimate collection that feels more like walking through someone's carefully preserved attic than a formal institution. The heart of the experience is its focus on the Home Front, detailing how ordinary life in towns like Nuneaton was profoundly reshaped. It’s a quiet, thoughtful place that leaves you with a deep sense of respect for the everyday courage displayed during those years.
Collection Highlights
Look for the complete 'Make Do and Mend' display, a full-sized replica of a 1940s living room complete with blackout curtains, and personal letters sent from the front lines. One of the most moving items is a simple wedding dress made from a parachute.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on a residential street in Nuneaton, so keep an eye out for the signs. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are famously knowledgeable, always happy to share the stories behind their exhibits.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a converted pair of red-brick Victorian terraced houses, which adds to its authentic, homely feel.
