Reviews of Alexander Fleming Museum

小而美的博物館，座落在醫院內部，紀念在此發現抗生素的佛萊明。全票4磅，學生票2磅，有展覽員互動式的解說（非常活潑好玩）、影片，與靜態展示。整個逛下來要40-60分鐘。 The entrance is a bit difficult to find, buried in the hospital complex. But once inside you'll find the three-stories museum is a fine little gem. The exhibitions are dated yet informative and well preserved, and the staff go out of their way to give you an immersive experience! Fees are 4lb./pp (2lb./pp for students). Reserve 45 minutes to hear the full performance-style story and watch a video on the history of Alexander Fleming and the discovery of Penicillin.

Awesome and worth it, even it is small palace, you can get the picture of how the Fu*!( Fleming did it: first antibiotic ever . It is inspirational for any science student. The way knowledge have to be translated into actions <by developing cure for sickness >. The visit helps to understand the fragility of humans without medication. You have to ring the bell, then upstairs you pay 4£ or 2£ (students with ID), there was an old lady who explains the lab {no photo's allowed, but I took them). Then you watch a 10 min movie, later there's an exhibition of how the discovery became an industry. You may expend almost an hours. Nerdies like me more. Cheers.

Nice to see. Very small but the guided tour and video is informative. You are not supposed to take photos of the laboratory, but I guess people have sneaked it. You can buy the book about penicillin written by the gentleman in charge. It's a big pricier than Amazon but I view it as supporting the museum. You can watch a movie on YouTube.

It was in that place where mankind got control over its future, no longer bacteria will kill us, no longer highest death rates for something insignificant, being able to contemplate that makes you wonder what other marvelous things are hiding, ready to be discovered

A sacred place for the Science and the humanity. For the Science of our past. A man, closed in a so small place, managed, alone, to become the father of antibiotics. Here a fundamental chapter for the history of medicine has been written. For humanity that was saved by this discovery. Alexander Fleming did not patent his precious discovery. He renounced his whealt for the love of unknown people. So yes this space may be thin, very small, but charmingly very large, great! There is a pioneering, almost religious, air of science and indiscriminate love For other people. What a shame too many people ignore this little sanctuary, instead paing a tribute of respect and gratitude... However, the atmosphere in this place is pleasantly, friendly and nice thanks to the kind and pleasant staff. I've apreciate il very much!

Inventor of Penicillin or Antibiotics. It was closed for the visitors so I didn't get a chance to look the inside.

Small but intimate museum. Guide was a friendly elderly lady. We learnt much about the discovery of penicillin. Spent about an hour there. Five stars ⭐ from our family.

Amazing experience. You get a guided tour through the laboratory, a video and an exhibition. The building is very well kept. The archivist has also written a book about Alexander Fleming. You can also get nice souvenirs at the shop.

P. L.

Fascinating three rooms with an informative video, historical artefacts and knowledgeable and friendly curators. £4 entry (there is a concession rate too). Amusingly Scottish Clydesdale notes are not accepted for entrance fee by the NHS trust finance office despite a Clydesdale Bank £5 commemorating Alexander Fleming being on display in the museum. Great visit.

It's a wonderful place to visit if you're interested in science or if you are a scientist as I am. The lady who introduced me the lab is really nice and her telling is so interesting. A really good job, congrats!!

Y. H.

Dramatic explanation by the guide. Good for kids. This is not a tourist spot. Visitors should respect this museum as a memorial. The exit is St Mary’s Hospital. That tells why. Lovely!

Lovely guide, who was willing to talk this know nothing American through what makes Alexander Fleming's work so important. It's a short tour and only takes about 30 minutes. It's well worth it.

Small, but nice, interesting museum. Good place to renew your memory. You will be offered to watch a short movie about Alexander Fleming, You will be able to step in his unique labaratory and what is more, the guides were exeptionaly kind and polite, so even if You are visiting museum alone, one of them will lead You free of charge. Besides, its a great place to visit, if you have limited time. Its very close to Paddington station, nearby is Lindo wing, Paddington rolling bridge and some other places of interest. Reccomend to visit ;)

A small museum/laboratory but incredibly educational and one of my favourites. If I had an option I would give this place seven stars. The volunteers were very kind and helpful and for this reason I will always recommend this place.

B. P.

A must-go place for those who appreciate science and Medicine. Not a big museum, but you can feel the atmosphere of that time.

M. R.

Very interesting and informative, the staff were friendly, kind and very funny and willing to chat. An amazing slice of history that changed the world.

Amazing staff, great visit but the TV 10min documentary is inaudible, and the access for the museum isn't easy

A. B.

Hard to find, easy to like. Interesting display, kind and knowledgeable staff, a story about the science and the history, that influenced all of us.

(Translated) The museum is located in the St Mary's Hospital entering through the entrance of the Cambridge building, the entrance cost £ 4 which is worth it if one is related to science or medicine It is located in the same place where A.Fleming had the laboratory, restored as it was in 1928 with all the original elements There is a projection of about 10 minutes with a bad audio and without subtitles or in English or Spanish where it tells the story of the discovery, then it goes to a room where it is written and with additional information what was seen and finally goes to the laboratory , which is very small, will be 4x4 as much, here you can not take pictures, I do not know why It's really worth it and the hospital environment is wonderful (Original) El museo se encuentra en el St Mary’s Hospital ingresando por la entrada del edificio Cambridge, la entrada cuesta £4 que valen la pena si uno está relacionado con la ciencia o medicina Está ubicado en el mismo lugar donde A.Fleming tenía el laboratorio, restaurado a como estaba en 1928 con todos los elementos originales Hay una proyección de unos 10 minutos con un mal audio y sin subtítulos ni en inglés ni castellano donde cuenta la historia del descubrimiento, luego se pasa a una sala donde está escrito y con información adicional lo que se vio y por último se va al laboratorio, el cual es muy pequeño, será de 4x4 como mucho, acá no se puede sacar fotos, no se por que Vale mucho la pena y el entorno del hospital es una maravilla
