New Florence Nightingale Museum
We are creating a new Florence Nightingale Museum in time to celebrate the centenary of Florence Nightingale’s death in 2010.

Designed by Kossmann de Jong, the new museum will tell Florence’s story in three pavilions that each represent a key period in her life: The Gilded Cage and Family, The Crimea, and The Health Reformer.

The stories in each pavilion will be told in three different layers: the first layer focuses on Florence’s own thoughts and ideas, the second concentrates on her surroundings and her social context and the third provides historical context.

The legacy of Florence Nightingale, her influence on modern day nursing and a broad history of nursing will wrap around the pavilions on the Museum’s walls.

A new entrance, shop and flexible education / temporary exhibition space will also be created. We have raised £1 million but need £300,000 more to complete the new museum.

Amongst our kind supporters are; The Wellcome Trust, Guys and St Thomas' Charity, The Wolfson Trust, Esmee Fairburn Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation and the Foyle Foundation.
