Bethlem Museum of the Mind, Mental health museum at Bethlem Royal Hospital, Kent, England
The museum exhibits a collection of artworks, archives, and medical artifacts that document the evolution of mental health care throughout centuries at Bethlem Hospital.
Since its opening in 2015, the museum succeeded a smaller institution that had displayed items from the hospital's art collection since 1970.
The collection features art by former patients William Kurelek, Richard Dadd, and Louis Wain, along with Caius Gabriel Cibber's statues from the 17th century hospital gates.
Located within the hospital grounds, the museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Saturday between 09:30 and 17:00, with free admission and no pre-booking required.
The museum maintains extensive archives from Bethlem, Maudsley, and Warlingham Park Hospitals, with documents dating back to the 16th century.
