The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum is named in honour of the eminent industrialist Sir Alfred Herbert (1866 to 1957). Sir Alfred was an engineer who set up a company in Coventry in 1887 to make components and tools for Coventry's cycle industry. Alfred Herbert Ltd grew to become probably the biggest machine tool manufacturer in the world.
