Due to uncertain connectivity in the Museum of Miniature Found Objects' caravan, live broadcasts from the museum's current tour of Australia, as previously advertised, will sadly not be possible. The Museum of Miniature Found Objects apologises to all its listeners around the world. Broadcasts will resume on the museum's return to the UK, on Sunday 24 March.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is the delighted recipient of a generous donation from the estate of Sir Winston Marsala Potts. On Friday this fine example of a nineteenth-century carte de visite was delivered to the museum's collection. It belonged to Etienne Potts, an ancestor of Sir Winston. It's understood, whilst in Paris, Potts paid a visit to Napoléon III, and the Emperor being out when he called, Potts left this card. A grateful French nation later donated the card to Sir Winston.

Visitors gasped with astonishment when the Royal Institute of Psychical Research visited the Museum of Miniature Found Objects last week. Workmen carrying out renovations late at night had reported hearing 'unearthly' sounds coming from the museum's cellars. Sadly Dame Eudora Sykes, the Institute’s chief medium, conducted psychic investigations without success. However, an apprentice curator accidentally locked in the museum overnight, on hearing sounds of movement in the Pooter Galleries, bravely investigated and was able to photograph the cause of the supernatural activities. The museum is thrilled to reproduce the image here. Additionally, all ghostly activities have ceased since the photograph was taken.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is delighted to announce the first stage of the entry foyer restoration has been completed. A large mural will greet visitors as they enter the museum. Atelier Zed have been commissioned to carry out this work. In its entirety it will portray courtiers and fellow jesters at the court of King Charles I, looking on as Jeffrey Hudson, the Royal Dwarf at court, leaps from a giant pie in which he has been hidden. On show here is the first panel, which depicts Hudson's fellow jesters.
