About

Based in the original 'Bedlam', this small but important museum contains historic and contemporary pieces by artists who have suffered from a mental disorder. Ascend the grand art-deco staircase past world renowned statues of 'Raving' and 'Melancholy' madness which originally stood above the gates of the 17th century hospital and discover more about the history of psychiatry and Bethlem Hospital.

Access to the museum's archives is by appointment only.
