Regretfully, but inevitably, the Florence Nightingale Museum has organised a major review of its operations in response to the continuing effects of the pandemic. We are currently open for the first full weekend of each month. Nightingale's legacy has never been more relevant: she founded modern nursing and instigated Wash Your Hands and cleanliness regimes.
Our web shop continues to ship to customers worldwide with a fantastic range of souvenirs, or gifts to say thanks to a healthcare professional. The review was designed to protect the Museum and its collections for the long term. If changes are not made now, the Museum will become financially insolvent before markets recover and visitors return in significant numbers.

Nightingale2020
Report
The Museum had been planning for a year of celebrations in 2020, the bicentenary of Nightingale's birth, but instead we are now struggling to survive. You can still visit our exhibition, Nightingale in 200 Objects, People & Places online, which celebrates Florence's bicentenary.
Florence is remembered as the founder of modern nursing, but she was so much more; a female icon in her own lifetime, a healthcare pioneer, an influential statistician, a trailblazer and a leader.And her legacy still lives on today.
