Very small museums

[Randy Winkman]

Anyone been to any good small museums lately? In the last few weeks I've been to the the Shoreham Aircraft Museum (that's Shoreham between Orpington and Sevenoaks) and the Morgan 3 wheeler car museum in Rolvenden, Kent. Both great places and with particularly nice staff.

Suppose it depends on what interests you, but the Petrie Museum at UCL in Euston is great for Egyptology. By great I mean arguably the best in the world.

Kenilworth Abbey Barn Museum

It opens (I think) every 2nd sunday of the month 1.30-4.30 pm

It's small but quality, staffed by enthusiastic volunteer(s) I've only seen one.

I went to a car museum in Luxembourg few years ago.

It was small.

Luxembourg is small.

Birmingham Pen Museum. Brum ised to make three out of every four pens in the world. Sadly I've never been despite living nearby for years, but friends have and confirmed that it was indeed small.

This is where the worlds largest tree piles were infused in Creosote before being shipped to be used in buildings and harbour docks. The town where the process took place was called creosote.

The museum in the Alamo is quite small. http://www.thealamo.org/

Thanks folks. I'm getting some good tips and am especially attracted to the ones that cost about £3. That's what the ones I've been to cost. The Egyptian one looks good too. Similar to that I've also been to the Vrolik Museum near Amsterdam.
