Bid now to keep the bean museum going!

If you're a baked bean fan, I've got some good news and some bad news.

Bad news first: the Baked Bean Museum of Excellence in Port Talbot, South Wales, is closing. I know, I know. It's hard to hear.

The good news? The entire collection is up for sale on eBay, so - if you move quickly - you could take it on yourself and stop the museum from becoming a has-bean (sorry).

The museum is the brainchild of one Barry Kirk, who in 2009 opened up his own council flat to the public to showcase his rapidly growing collection of baked bean memorabilia, and indeed his love of the little orange beauties.
