About Us

The Florence Nightingale Museum celebrates the life and work of the best known figure in nursing history. Visit the museum to celebrate the life of this trailblazing woman; discover all about her affluent childhood, how she fought against her parents’ wishes to become a nurse, her work during the Crimean War and how she campaigned for better healthcare for ordinary people. See the actual lamp she carried which earned her the nickname The Lady With The Lamp, meet her pet owl, and see her medicine chest. Make sure to attend one of our guided highlights tours throughout the day.
