The museum is located on the original site of St Thomas’ Hospital where Florence Nightingale founded the world’s first school of nursing in 1860. Opened in 1989, the museum houses a unique collection of her personal mementoes, clothing, furniture, books, letters and portraits as well as Crimean War relics and nursing material, and aims to grow as the international centre for preserving Florence Nightingale's heritage and interpreting the relevance of her life and work for the benefit of the present and future generations.
