The Museum of Miniature Found Objects has received reports of a visitor believed to be missing on the premises. A Mr Nestor Bronkofiev was last seen entering the DigiLab (wearing a blue raincoat) to attend the lunchtime talk, 'Percussive Podiatry: A Historical/Intimate Perspective', but has not been seen since. If encountered, please direct him to the Palm Court Tea Rooms on the ground floor, where his party are waiting for him. 

In order to assist visitors, the MMFO has recently published a revised map of the galleries, available from the Museum Gift Shop.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is delighted to report that the recent open call for entries for the MMFO Poupette Memorial design competition has produced considerable interest. A much-loved miniature giant anteater, Poupette was one of Stott's Marvels, and she brought joy to the lives of many visitors as a living exhibit in the display, 'Stott's Fantastical Emporium: Revisited', until sadly choking to death on an olive. Exciting proposals have already flooded in from Zaha Hadid Studios, Givenchy, Bertie Han, the Bloomingdale Co-op and many more. The MMFO looks forward to announcing the competition results on Saturday 19 September.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects announces with deep regret the opening of the Conversation Saloon is delayed until further notice. The Palm Court Tea Rooms are also closed, and the current exhibition, 'The Paperclip: An Aesthetic of Artifice', in the Norman Shrapnel Memorial Gardens has reduced opening hours (please see the noticeboard in the Rodchenko Foyer for times). This is due to staff shortages as a result of the current strike action.
