A little gem! Tiny but historically significant museum, 15-20 minute visit. Fleming's small laboratory room, set up as it was when he discovered mould contamination of an agar plate produced a substance that killed bacteria, later to become penicillin working with Oxford University. Also a video and a poster room with more details. Historic and interesting to medical and laboratory workers in particular. When open (currently M-Th, 10am-1pm, staffed by volunteers), press the buzzer to gain entry, the door is a bit stiff!
