Florence Nightingale Museum review

The nursing skills and campaigning zeal that made the Crimean War work of the Lady with the Lamp legendary are honoured at the Florence Nightingale Museum with a chronological tour through her remarkable life. On returning from the battlefields of Scutari she opened the Nightingale Nursing School in St Thomas's Hospital, and the Florence Nightingale Museum is located on the original site of the school. Displays of period mementoes - clothing, furniture, books, letters and portraits -include her stuffed pet owl, Athena. Hands-on children activities such as Vicotorian writing lessons and family trails take place on most weekends at the Florence Nightingale Museum.
