around their fascinating home, enjoy the best overview of the history
of the Hospital, plus fascinating insights into life as a Chelsea
Pensioner today,
Please
note that this tour covers internal and external spaces, and will
include stairs.
In
many ways the entire Hospital is a living museum, but we also have a
dedicated museum with some of the more unusual items on display.
The
entrance hall is dedicated to the Duke of Wellington and features
items such as George Jones' panorama of the Battle of Waterloo
(1820). It also features a contemporary painting of Queen Elizabeth
II by Andrew Festing (1998).
The
large diorama in the centre of the entrance hall depicts the Royal
Hospital as it looked in 1742.
The
museum itself includes a reconstruction of a typical berth, the
uniform of a veteran soldier, and many other artefacts. T
The
Infirmary Café is available to tour groups and the gift shop has a
wide range of interesting gifts and souvenirs to suit all budgets.
