On Tuesday what is claimed to be the world's smallest museum opening in Covent Garden, London, housed in a traditional 1930s/Edward Lutyens designed red telephone box! I have not seen it yet, but according to the press reports and photographs it has a uniformed security attendant inside, and the opening exhibition is on London Gin - the exhibits including a small-scale still!!
