To say that the World's Tiniest Orange is transcendent is to do it a disservice as the art installation that it is. The World's Tiniest Orange has quite literally changed my life, and here I will tell you a story. Stay with me, dear reader, stay with me.

I was minding my own business, on this lovely Sunday, walking along pondering life and it's meanings, when I happened upon this Orange.

It is so very small, in such a very big display. It's a wonderful metaphor for the very life we all live. Are we all not just tiny Oranges in a big room with a glass window so that we may be observed? My mind reeled, I fell to my knees and sobbed openly.

To gaze upon the Orange is to know what it is like to be God Themselves.

The World's Tiniest Orange will forever change the art world, and it should.

The simplicity. The juxtaposition. The candidness of it.

Reader, if you do nothing else in your life, please, PLEASE, go see the World's Tiniest Orange - you will be changed, made better and anew when you bask in it's glory.

This orange sure is small! Really changed my perspective on oranges and life. How can anything be hopeless when an orange this small exists and is displayed so beautifully? We all are capable of changing - the world, ourselves, and sometimes, each other. Take heart, dear travelers, and see this life-changing tiny orange. You won't regret it.

I thought that visiting this orange would just be a bit of a goof, a fun way to spend my lunch hour. However, when I got there, I was struck by a sense of my own place in the universe. To this orange, I am huge. ENORMOUS. I am probably something like a God to this orange. Yet, knowing the scope of the size of the Earth and how tiny even the Earth in in comparison to our sun, the solar system, and then the universe, I was struck by how tiny and fleeting all of our lives truly are. I am this orange. YOU are this orange. Be the best orange you can be.

As a connoisseur of tiny fruits I was dubious that this would be as tiniest as described. I had recently completed a tour of the Mediterranean where I had witnessed such wonders as the World's Teensiest Cherry, the world's most Lilliputian apricot and, totally by accident, the world's largest date (that'll teach me for booking with Thomas Cook).
But nothing could have prepared me for the world's tiniest orange display. Its so tiny! So orange! Such display!
It was transcendent, I cannot recommend it enough. It will change your life. I know what you're thinking. "It can't be that small" but it is. It really is and in these uncertain times of Brexit, austerity and Dafydd Iwan entering the UK top 40 it is essential that such important heritage sites survive to document a tiny orange.

I was dubious about the claims made by this exhibit, but let me tell you that they were totally unfounded. This is the world's tiniest orange. It is beautifully displayed and very accessible to a wide audience. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this tiny orange.

When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer. And yet, on seeing that there would be no smaller oranges to view, not a single iridescent tear wove down my cheek, for to taint the solitary splendor and awe of the moment with an act so base in comparison was unfathomable.

4 stars because the staff was rude and parking was a hastle. Otherwise recommended.

It's so tiny. So smol. So tiny. I love tiny things. And, I love oranges. I love the color, and I especially love the fruit. So this? This was beautiful. A true sight to behold. Five out of five tiny orange stars.
