The Museum is a great place for families to have fun together and learn about Florence Nightingale and her legacy. We host a wide variety of activities and events for families, some are below,
• New Family Trails - With our new family trail and Athena’s I spy trail, explore the Museum together. Find out about the life of Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole & Alexis Soyer and the Crimean War. You might even spot a few pets along the way!
• Family Corner - Want to be a Nightingale Nurse? We’ve worked with the nurses at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to help children discover what it’s like to be a modern nurse and the many different roles the field of nursing offers today.
• Letter Writing - Florence wrote some 200 books, pamphlets and articles, and over 14,000 letters. Use our letter writing station to start a discussion and send a message.
