About Florence Nightingale Museum
- 🎉 The Florence Nightingale Museum is a small but fascinating museum located at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, dedicated to the life and work of Florence Nightingale.
- 💼 The museum is divided into three main sections: Nightingale’s early life, her work in the Crimea, and her later years.
- 🎨 The displays are well-curated and informative, with plenty of interactive exhibits that engage visitors of all ages.
- 🏠 One highlight is the Nightingale Room, furnished as it would have been when she lived there and filled with her personal artifacts.
- 📚 Another must-see exhibition is “Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing,” showcasing how her book revolutionized the nursing practice. It includes an original copy and other related artifacts.
- ⭐️ Mixed opinions regarding its size – some describe it as small, while others find it packed with information and exhibits that allow visitors to appreciate Nightingale’s contributions to the world.
- 😊 A visitor had a lovely experience bringing their elderly clients here for an afternoon trip, suggesting that it could be great for kids too.
