About Florence Nightingale Museum

The Museum holds a unique collection of artefacts and is the only place where you can learn the full story of this remarkable woman. The Museum is independent and opened in 1989.

It has over 2000 artefacts and aims to show the extraordinary life and world-changing achievements of Florence Nightingale, and the impact her legacy has on us all today through developments in nursing and healthcare.

Crimean War

The Crimean War (1853-56) is mostly remembered for three things: the Charge of the Light Brigade, mismanagement in the British army and Florence Nightingale. The war was fought between Russia and the allied powers of Britain, France and Turkey. It began because of British and French distrust of Russia's ambitions in the Balkans.

The battle at Balaclava (which included the Charge of the Light Brigade) was one example of mismanagement and there was a public outcry over the conditions the soldiers faced in the military hospitals. The war was ended by the Treaty of Paris in 1856. The scandal surrounding British losses through disease in the Military Hospitals led to a Royal Commission into Military Hospitals.
