It's a cloakroom

It is a place, room, or part of a building where many people go in to see interesting stuff. When they come, they leave some of their clothes there, as well as some money, before they go to see the interesting stuff. When they leave the clothes and money, they get a thing, usually a bit of paper. When the people are done seeing the interesting stuff, they come back, hand in the bit of paper, and they get their clothes back. They don't get the money back, though.
This is so that the people do not have to carry all their warm outside clothes inside the building with the interesting stuff.

Written with the ten hundred words people use the most often.

Oh, it's probably for old theatre.

>>79322299
You don't have them at art galleries, department stores, museums, etc?

I've only seen this at a theater.

>>79322396
No.. people carry their stuff without issue.

Why would I leave my coat for a nigger to steal?

I don't believe you. Every museum and gallery I've been to has had a coat check.
