herbertcoventry_570.jpgThis Easter there are events in museums all over the UK and A History of the World is getting involved in as many as we can.

But first out of the blocks is in Coventry, which has cunningly stolen a march on the others by holding its big event tomorrow night.

The museum is holding a special starring the A History of the World objects from seven local museums.

There will be plenty to do, with activities themed around the objects: flint knapping demonstrations will show you how the Waverly Wood Handaxe was made; a gold Elizabethan signet ring is the inspiration for the to perform scenes from Romeo and Juliet; and paper aeroplane races will celebrate the Whittle Jet Engine.

Plus, with Jerry Dammer's handwritten lyrics to Too Much Too Young being one of the objects on display, you can celebrate Coventry's most famous musical sound, 2-Tone, with a one-night-only supergroup from The Selecter's Neol Davies.

The event is on between 6:30pm and 9:30pm at . Tickets are free but you need to reserve online here. And if you can't make it then you can see all of on display at the museum until the 7 April.
