Florence Nightingale is famous around the world for her influence on modern nursing, but she herself was more than a nurse. At the Florence Nightingale Museum, personal artefacts, a life-size reconstruction of a Crimean ward scene and an audio-visual presentation together reveal the hidden person, from a serious and solitary child to an internationally recognised figure. Guided tours are available, allowing visitors a personal insight into the museum collection.
