We had a really nice visit to this small but important and immensely historical museum. Thanks for a brilliant guide through Flemings discovery

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

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.

Interesting to me as a microbiology student. It's small and nice. They only accept cash so bring some if you want to buy from the gift shop.

This is a small, quiet, old school museum where volunteer guides tell you about Fleming's discovery and show you around his original lab. There is also a short film and an exhibition room to look at as well. Currently it's a bit tricky to find because of all the scaffolding around the entrance and building, but it is well worth it because the volunteers are so nice and friendly. There are a few flights of stairs to go up and down (no lift).

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

135A Praed Street is a grimy door to an upstairs garret on wrong side of the road. After following a blue sign on the hospital, we wandered around St Mary’s Hospital speaking to hospital staff who had noooo idea about any museum. Suggest you give this a big miss.

Kevin Brown author of Penicillin Man is the Curator and founder of the museum. We had a short presentation from Kevin, ably assisted by Ruth. We learned about Alexander Fleming discovery and determination to get mass production of the drug, to same millions of lives. Subsequent drugs were developed to attack other killer diseases like Sepsis.Then we watched the video with videos photos which brought it all to life. Educational and entertaining.

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 . 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.
