Such a beautifully presented museum, I was really impressed. So many stories, exhibits and artwork detailing the history of an amazing place. I had no idea the grounds were so extensive either! Really impressed, worth a visit if you are interested in the history of (and current issues surrounding) mental health care in this country. More

It was a pleasure visiting this Free local museum. Great place to visit to see some fascinating art and learn about the history of the hospital. The only thing that can be improved is the lighting in the galleries, it would have been nice if they were less dark so you can appreciate the detailed paintings

A nice place to spend a hour or two reading and learning about issues of the mind and what some people go through . I believe everyone should learn a little about this subject as it is important to all . Nice museum , free entrance and parking on the main road for free . Enjoy …

Really interesting experience here last week. As a Psychology student it was a really great way to see some of the history of the hospital and the treatment of patients hundreds of years ago. The artwork created by the patients over the years was also great to see. More

almost cried thrice so it's an automatic 5 stars for me. shame they didn't have louis wain's "i am happy because everyone loves me" cat painting but it's fine because i got a notebook with the artwork on the cover from the gift shop, so all is well :,)

This museum is a cultural gem in Bromley. The site itself feels relaxing and peaceful despite being a working hospital, and the museum building gives wonderful views of the grounds. The permanent collection gives a fascinating and important

Not big but detailed history of the hospital and many collections of arts and crafts including Louis Wain (famous cat artist in 19 to 20th century). You will learn mental health care history and may be inspired by different perspectives of

A surprising and fascinating find. Bedlam was the first psychiatric hospital as long ago as the 13th century. Back then people would pay to be "entertained" by the inmates. Many famous artists have ended up as patients there, and they have

We visited on a Saturday and it wasn't crowded (partly due to lockdown most likely). If it wasn't for lockdown we would have interacted with more things and perhaps stayed longer, especially in the upstairs section. Really enjoyed finding

Very good museum. Lovely huge garden as well. Great 1930s building. The permanent exhibition was particularly good. Very well curated and informative. Especially all videos were very interesting. Hope they will update every 10 or 20 years

We managed to visit the Bethlem Museum of the Mind last year during their exhibition, "Animal Therapy: The Cats of Louis Wain". As huge admirers of Wain's beautiful anthropomorphic illustrations, we were beyond delighted to catch the

This was my first visit ( 27/1/22 ) with my daughter who is studying psychology. I didn't even know the museum existed till I saw a "tik tok" about it. It was very interesting to see and learn about mental health throughout the

Free to enter museum currenty exhibiting the works of Louis Wain with a sensory art display on the ground floor. Traces the history of mental health treatment over more than 700 years. Facinating and moving. More

Interesting couple of hours covering the history of mental health care. Particularly strong on artistic responses to mental illness. Lovely 30s building. Perhaps item labelling could be clearer in some cabinets.

A very thought provoking Museum. From the somewhat dark history through to today with artworks that provide a particularly sober view. It would be weird to say I enjoyed it but certainly glad that I visited.

As a psychology student, this place was as fascinating as it was slightly haunting. It was an amazing experience to witness the old (and new) methodologies of treating mental illnesses. Worth the trip!

This is an amazing exhibition, and really well put together. It's full of exciting artwork and the museum illuminates what it is to experience mental illness..well worth the trek to see it. More

Remarkable; dignified, informative, immersive and superbly curated. An exceptional experience and unconditionally recommended. Seek this out; likely to confound expectations.

A peaceful place to understand on the mindset of the people who are distracted. A full study of human psychology is done provided for understanding. More

Very intresting if u need to learn about mental health or u wont a understanding coz a family member has mental health take a visit
