Two museums in Coventry won't be reopening on the 4 July as bosses say it'll take longer than 10 days to get them ready

Yesterday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said museums along with cinemas, galleries and libraries, would be able to reopen as long as they followed new guidelines.

But Culture Coventry, which runs Coventry Transport Museum and the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, said neither would be ready for 4 July.

Spokesman Ruark Jon-Stevens said the transport museum was likely to reopen a few weeks later and the Herbert after that as they'd just started redeveloping the galleries.

"What we need to do is sanitise the museums and not the experience so although we will be taking some of the interactive out of use there'll be other things put in place which might be projections, more visual, those sorts of things."

Shocking, really, isn't it?

If it were their own business and their families relied on the income, you can bet your life they'd be ready.
