 back to sights listing

Here you can see a reconstruction of Alexander Fleming's laboratory as it was in 1928. This is the birthplace of penicillin at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington.

The accompanying display and video presentation tells you the story of the great discovery and its momentous consequences for the health of the world. You will be impressed by the importance of the work done here. The meaning of the opened medicine was really great in the history of development of the medicine. It was especially important as the war began and woundied soldiers needed proper treatment against viruses and bacteria.

Designated an international historic chemical landmark by the American Chemical Society and Royal Society of Chemistry. In the laboratory you will see manuscripts and notes, made by Alexander Fleming while studying the influence of penicilin onto the baceria's activity. Different pieces of meal covered by the mould - natural resource of the penicilin- will be also displayed here.
