Description
Florence Nightingale was the founder of modern nursing, one of our greatest Victorians and a female icon in her own lifetime. Explore the museum to discover all about Florence’s childhood as a daughter in a wealthy family; how she fought to become a nurse against her parents wishes; her work during the Crimean War and how she campaigned for better healthcare for ordinary people. See the actual lamp she carried which earned her the nickname The Lady With The Lamp, meet her pet owl and see her medicine chest. Florence was almost as famous as Queen Victoria in her own lifetime and she is still celebrated today; she even has an asteroid named after her!
You can still visit our exhibition demonstrating how Nightingale’s leadership and campaigning skills still inspire women today, ‘Nightingale in 200 Objects, People & Places’.

Vale cada centavo
Terminamos el día hablando de lo bien que había estado. El detalle del guía en vivo sumó mucho. Nos acompañó un guía muy cálido, que se tomó el tiempo de charlar con cada uno. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.

Super recomendo
Das melhores coisas que fizemos na viagem. Gostamos muito da parte de Florence Baltimore. O guia avisava onde valia parar para fotos. O ponto de encontro estava bem indicado e fácil de achar. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Londres.

Una de las mejores cosas que hicimos en Londres. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. Athena tiene un clima muy especial. Es una noche redonda: comés bien y ves un espectáculo de verdad. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Really enjoyable, though there is room for improvement. The show held our attention throughout, genuinely high standard. We stayed on walking around Atenea Prague after dinner. Drinks took a while to arrive at the start. A good option, especially on a first visit.

We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. They emailed all the details the day before, very clear. We stayed on walking around Guerra de Crimea after dinner.

Good, with ups and downs. We had enough time at Athena to take photos without rushing. Perfect for getting an overview, then going back to what you liked most. It dragged a little through the middle section.
