A peace garden was formally opened by Her Majesty the Queen Mother in 1990 and a sculpture and plaque marking that event stands at the main entrance to the Herbert Gallery and Museum with olive trees representing peace.

A plinth engraved with the names, direction and distance from Coventry, of the city’s 26 twin towns and cities around the world, originally placed in the peace garden, now stands in the Herbert Gallery grounds, at the side entrance to the Gallery.
