They don't get much smaller than this. In Sidmouth’s Market Square, two restored red telephone boxes have been cleverly repurposed as tiny museums, created by the Sidmouth School of Art in partnership with the Town Council. One functions as the Museum of Contemporary Art (pictured), the other as the Museum of Antiquities, with rotating displays that make the most of the limited space.

Past exhibitions have included plasticine figures titled 'Holiday Makers of Sidmouth', small collections of vintage toys and coastal curiosities. They’re easy to view in a few minutes and add a fun twist to a visit to Sidmouth.
