Small but equally interesting museums in the world

Exploring such huge museums will be a very interesting journey, but also very time consuming and easy to make you tired. Fortunately, besides the giant museums, there are also mini-museums, allowing us to learn about the culture and history of each place without spending too much effort.

1. MICRO Museum, San Francisco

MICRO Museum with themes about animals, science, physics and politics.

Most mini-museums have one thing in common, which is a very small exhibition in a very small building and focuses on one (usually rather outlandish) theme. MICRO is a little different. Project curators describe it as a "six-foot-tall museum group". In other words: it's a whole bunch of small, ubiquitous galleries in San Francisco. The interior of the exhibition halls is meticulously crafted and stylish. Topics include mollusks, the science of perpetual motion, and the politics of social welfare.

2. Mmuseumm, New York

The Mmuseumm is only the size of an elevator.

The Mmuseumm is described as a 'modern natural history museum'. That means you won't find dinosaur models and hominid skeletons here. Set in an old elevator shaft, the museum is filled with idyllic everyday objects, from the Amazon Dash button with the Doritos logo to the replicas of the last text messages people received from their old friends. Dear. It is a unique collection with all kinds of items that you can freely browse at any time.

3. Warley Museum, UK

The Warley Museum in the UK is even more unique when it fits inside a phone booth.

Warley is a small village in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Housed inside a traditional red phone booth, the objects on display in the museum will be changed by villagers, tied to Warley's historical and cultural events. The floor of the phone box is inlaid with ceramics found in a nearby garden. Best of all, this tiny museum is right next to the pub - giving you everything you need for a great day out in the Land of Mist.

4. Ethno Museum, village of Džepčište, North Macedonia

Due to the small area, only one visitor can enter this unique ethnographic museum at a time. The Ethno Museum contains more than a thousand objects, reminiscent of the hall of the once famous Dad's Garage theater. Most of the exhibits are Macedonian items from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You'll also find ceramics dating back more than 5000 years.

5. William Burke Museum, Edinburgh (Scottish capital)

The William Burke Museum is just a small leather case, but it is a testament to a dark period of Scotland's history.

In the window of The Cadies & Witchery Tours store, you'll find a 'museum' with a somewhat spooky item: a small leather case, which holds the skin of the notorious Edinburgh killer. William Burke- a serial killer living under Queen Victoria, once sold his victim's body to an inhuman professor, he was eventually executed for his crimes. This macabre monument is testament to the darkest part of the city's history, don't miss it if you ever get the chance to visit Scotland's capital!

The Faraday Effect Museum is the miniature workspace of physicist Michael Faraday.

This tiny museum is essentially a warehouse, located on a posh pier in London, close to where physicist Michael Faraday has worked for more than 30 years. Entering the museum, you will have the opportunity to explore the scientist's workspace. The walls are plastered with historical documents, technical drawings and even a fishing kit. The space gives us an incredible sense of peace, an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
