A number of locations in Leave-voting areas have been earmarked as potential sites for the museum, which aims to tell the story of the struggle for Brexit over the decades. It will feature memorabilia including newspaper cartoons, Wetherspoon beer mats, one of Nigel Farages old suits and even pro-Brexit condoms.

Plans for the museum had been paused due to the push to get Brexit over the line and then the coronavirus crisis.

But they are now being stepped up with just four months until the transition period ends.

Former Brexit Party spokesman Gawain Towler, who is one of the museums organisers, said: Things have been quiet, partially because we still had to fight for Brexit, and then weve had COVID.

But as the country starts to wake up and it looks like we are finally approaching the exit door of the 40-year failed experiment, we are in a better position to look to the future without forgetting the past.

Speaking to the Mail of Sunday, he said the project exists to remember the little people in pub meetings up and down the country who kept the flame of independence and sovereignty alive during the dark years.

Supporters of the Museum of Brexit include Margaret Thatchers chancellor Lord Lawson.

He said: The debate about the United Kingdoms evolving relationship with its neighbours, and its place in the world, has been of critical national significance.

We need to capture those records and stories for posterity.

Conservative MP David Jones is another supporter of the museum.

He said: The vote of 23 June 2016 was a momentous event in the history of our country, marking the nations determination to re over its independence.

The museum is a worthy venture and I am pleased to support it.

Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski added: "The Museum of Brexit is an excellent initiative, and one that I greatly support.
