The Florence Nightingale Museum

School Trip Provided by The Florence Nightingale Museum

The Florence Nightingale Museum celebrates the life and work of the best known figure in nursing history.Our school session 'A Visit with Miss Nightingale' begins with an interactive performance by the museum’s own ‘Florence Nightingale’ describing her life and work. This is then followed by self-directed activities in the museum. 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.Can't come to us? We also offer visits to your school from either the museum's 'Florence Nightingale' or 'Mary Seacole' and even offer online visits via Zoom!
