“Opened for one month in March 2014, it is now supposed to last for a few years!” says their commentary under the YouTube video, below.
“Founded and curated by photographer Elisabeth Blanchet, the Prefab Museum celebrates post-war prefab life through art, by sharing memories, archive, stories and by reviving the sense of community of the Excalibur Prefab Estate,” states the museum.

The video provides a snapshot of the PreFab Musuem, as told in their own uniquely British way.
