Special Topics Talks – The Soyer Stove
Thursday 9th January
When you come to one of our special topics talks you will discover rarely known histories and earn a greater understanding of the life and times of Florence Nightingale.
This month focus will be The Soyer Stove! This object may look plain from the outside, but it saved countless lives during the Crimean War and revolutionized how we think about health to this day!
Hear the story of Alexis Soyer, a French chief who worked with Florence Nightingale and aided her at Scutari Hospital. Discover how he used food to boost moral and changed how people viewed nutrition!
Talks will be given by a member of the Florence Nightingale Team and are included in all general admission tickets!
Talks will be held at 2:00pm and 3:30pm.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the door.
