A museum solely of the sleeves of umbrellas—one of the world's most mundane, neglected objects. All of our covers are donated from people in the states and all around the world. We have covers from 66 different countries so far. Our collection includes handmade covers crafted by local artists, sexy covers, minuscule, screen-printed versions of famous painting and designer covers. Each have their very own story to tell. However, our biggest claim to fame is our Guinness World Record for the largest collection of umbrella covers. Come in to find out just how many we have!
