Florence Nightingale Museum
Florence Nightingale Museum Review
Compact, highly visual, and engaging, this museum is dedicated to Florence Nightingale, who founded the first school of nursing and played a major role in establishing modern standards of health care. Exhibit are divided into three areas: one focuses on Nightingale's Victorian childhood, while the other two cover her work tending soldiers during the Crimean War (1854-1856) and her subsequent health-care reforms. The museum is creative and accessible, incorporating photographs and personal items (including Nightingale's own books, bed, and famous lamp), as well as interactive displays of medical instruments and medicinal herbs.
