'It’s Coventry’s smallest museum - and in all likelihood one of the smallest in the world - but the Phil Silvers Archival Museum is a sight to behold.'

- Enda Mullen, Coventry Live. The British PHIL SILVERS Appreciation Society launched THE PHIL SILVERS ARCHIVAL MUSEUM in 2015 to great acclaim. The Museum boasts a generous display of personal effects, posters, photographs, letters, books and memo

rabilia kindly donated by Phil Silvers family. Doors officially opened on November 1st, 2015 – the 30th anniversary of Phil’s passing with extensive press, radio and television coverage. The Museum has already attracted support from Tim Vine, Danny Baker, Phill Jupitus and Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill!
