Monthly Museum Late

Alexis Soyer

Can’t make it to the museum during our normal weekday hours?

Join us at one of our themed monthly museum lates for an opportunity to explore our exhibitions after hours! These extended openings allow visitors to see the space in a unique and hands-on way!

This month’s late will also include a special talk will be given by a member of our museum team, Kate, on the life and work of Alexis Soyer. Soyer was a French Chef brought to the Crimean War by Nightingale to improve patients health by improving the food available. Soyer created a stove that saved countless lives, but his own tragically short life has left him relatively unknown to history.

The talk will start at 6:30pm BST and will last around 45 minutes with time for questions at the end and is included in all general admission tickets.

A bar will be open starting at 5:00pm serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks offering the perfect accompaniment to your visit.

All tickets purchased for the monthly museum lates are general admission tickets and will be valid for a full year. All general admission tickets (including those of repeat visitors) will be accepted for these monthly Thursday evening lates.
