About

We are a museum

Glenside Hospital Museum, located in the historic church of the former Glenside Psychiatric Hospital in Bristol, offers a unique and thought-provoking exploration of the history of mental health care. Through a rich collection of medical equipment, patient art, photographs, and personal stories, the museum sheds light on the evolving treatment of mental illness and the lives of those who lived and worked at Glenside.
