One in a series of little books produced in a limited, numbered edition of 500; the size and format of each book varies although all include a postcard. 'Little museum' contains 9 photographs of a pair of hands - presumably Joe Dilnot's? - holding various small items: a book ('The first Ladybird book of British birds and their nests'), a fossil, a black-and-white photograph (of a child in a pushchair), a 3D commemorative postage stamp (of the Post Office Tower), a card collection ('Trees in Britain'), a toy lorry, a toy cow, a postcard (of a tower and beach view, Herne Bay) and a coin (a two shilling piece). The viewer is left to speculate on the relative significance of the objects displayed.
