Exquisite architecture, the Museum of the Order has a lot charm, elegance housing thousand of years of knowledge. The Order has a fascinating history of serving others in need and battles to keep this missing alive. It was moving seeing extraordinary paintings and statues of Good Samaritan. Also see the extraordinary work of Christians, Muslims and Jews working to serve those in need, the poor and the sick.
The museum is free to visit and tells the story of the Order of St John from it's origins in 11th Century Jerusalem to it's role today with St John's Ambulance. From the entrance, the right side of the museum deals with the establishment of outposts on Mediterranean islands, notably Malta, Rhodes and Cyprus after being forced out of the Holy Lands by the Ottomans. The left side of the exhibition, with the Knights long gone, looks at the development of a new role for the Order of St John through the grant of a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in 1888 and the creation of the St John's Ambulance that exists to this day.
You can walk past this small museum and not even know it is there. Tucked inside an old gate house that dates back to 1504 is a great little museum tracking the history of the Order of Saint John. If the name is familiar it is because today this ancient order is now in fact Saint John's Ambulance service. Even though it is small it is full of well laid out and well presented artifacts. The history of the order is fascinating and amazing to find out. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful, I would thoroughly recommend that if you are in the area do visit.
The museum has two parts - exposition inside and a small garden nearby 100m. Gives good historical overview of the order. Did not know that this order got the assets of Templars after the latter was shut down. It is a good visit If you are nearby and spare time in your hand.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
It’s a very good place to spend few minutes. The museum itself is a great piece of architecture. Very nice staff and very welcoming.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A small but informative and we'll considered museum. Great place to understand the history and current forms of what was the Knights Hospitaliers.
Quaint little free museum, good if you have 30 mins to spare or are really interested in medieval Knightly Orders from the Crusade era.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Amazing to see the history of st john ambulance in so much depth. As a volunteer myself, was interesting learning about my organisation's history
A small museum with two buildings and a total of three viewing rooms in both buildings. In the museum, by and large, there is not much to see. Since this Order is a functioning organization they provide for public viewing at additional charge under the pretext of two excursions at £ 12 each: in one building - a meeting room; and one room in the chapel, - it is in any circumstances would be difficult to call it a good value for money or reasonable to have it as two separate tours. The community was organized in the 10xx and positioned itself as a community for the provision of medical services, but as is often the case with similar orders such as the Jesuit and the like, a banal way of enriching themselves on medical services inaccessible at that time, kind of soft power, which is confirmed by their exhibition, mentioned the wealth of the order and the use of jewellery in decorating buildings, can't imagine that jewellery is critical for medical treatment; the military orientation of the order declared in the exposition, most likely, implies the looting inherent in such institutions at that time. It was a great discovery for me that the hospital museum that I saw in Valletta, Malta was their property, sounds like they are everywhere.
The museum tells the story of the Order of St John. A history that goes back almost a thousand years. This order spend their lives caring for and protecting sick people, starting from the first hospital in Jerusalem in 1080, then a network of hospitals and in modern times through the St. John's Ambulance. There are guided tours available on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 11am and 2.30pm and I'd highly recommended it. The guide went through the aforementioned history including the now defunct military arm and a lot more. The guide has access to parts of the museum not normally open to the public such as the grand hall which is fantastic. Well worth a visit for those interested in history
