Original sign for The Alphabet Museum,

created by Dr David Diringer in his back

garden at 50 St. Barnabas Road, Cambridge.

It was opened in 1959.

"If you knock at the right house in the right

street, go down the hallway, through the kitchen,

and out to the bottom of the narrow, infertile-

looking garden at the back, you will come to the

Alphabet Museum. Perhaps it is the smallest

museum in the world. It consists of a garden

shed, extended backwards about 12 ft. On June

8, Mr. I. J. Pitman, M.P. for Bath, will come and

open it officially--and the opening ceremony will

have to be repeated in shifts for three days, so that

everyone can be fitted into the tiny room."

--Manchester Guardian, 30 May 1959
