Object Handling Sessions with the Old Operating Theatre

Join the Florence Nightingale Museum as we partner with our friends at the Old Operating Theatre for an exciting object handling session!

Do you want to know more about the local history of London? Are you looking for a hands on learning experience this August?

The Old Operating Theatre is the oldest surviving surgical theatre in Europe housed in the attic of the early 18th century church of the old St Thomas’ Hospital. The museum features the original timber framed Herb Garret once used to dry and store herbs for patients’ medicines and in 1822 an operating theatre was included.
