    ALOA's Robert Bell museum was started by Mr. Bell in the late 1970's IIRC. The colection is made up exclusively from donations by members.

    There is a preserved shop of a locksmith in the museum, inside the castle at Acre, Israel.

    It would seem the Science Museum in London has seen fit to close the lock exhibit which included the Bramah shop facade. There is a new door indicating construction works for the area are in progress and no signs giving any information whether this is permanent.

    The few locks scattered among other exhibits on the ground floor are still in place.
