'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.
