History of Psychiatry at Glenside Hospital Museum

Event Information

This year’s autumn face to face meeting will be at Glenside Hospital Museum in Bristol.

We were there 8 years ago but this time will hold the meeting at the Museum itself. 

The Museum has operated for over 30 years on a shoestring, run by volunteers with no professional curators.  It is quirky!

It is however probably the largest collection of displayed Asylum artifacts and the largest dedicated museum space in the country. 

Based in the 1880’s chapel built for the Asylum, it houses a wide range of artifacts – mainly from the 1950’s but many unchanged since the Victorian period. There are sections on its life as a WW1 war hospital as well as the local intellectual disability hospitals and the Burden neurological institute.
