A new Florence Nightingale Museum is scheduled to open on her birthday, 12th May, to celebrate the centenary of Florence Nightingale’s death.

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.
