Here is the Smallest Museum in the World


The bright red telephone booth in West Yorkshire is all stuffed with the historical artifacts is being called the 'smallest museum in the world'. The Warley Museum is known particularly for housing little memories that includes old photographs, antique jewellery and many other things showcasing the town's history! 

History 
This initiative was taken when British Telecommunications took the decision to discontinue services in 43 such booths, owing to the use of cellphones which has rendered the booths obsolete. It was also voted as the favourite British design by the public. 


Concept  
Members of the Warley Community Association came together to use the obsolete red booth for a purpose, as in other places which have turned them into lending libraries. The community came up with the idea of preserving it and other artefacts as a part of history and are clearly thrilled with the result. The best part of this museum is that the exhibits change every three months.  


The tiny museum has strong contenders to the title it hopes to achieve. For now the tiny booth stands proudly in front of Maypole Inn, a relic from the past.
