Following the death of Her Majesty The Queen the staff at the Museum of the Order of St John, and St John people everywhere, extend their deepest condolences to all the Royal Family.
Here at St John’s Gate, the headquarters of St John in England, the flags are flying at half-mast and a Book of Condolence has been opened for all visitors to sign if they wish. The Book is accessible during the Museum’s opening hours (10am to 5pm Wednesday to Saturday).
Additionally, the Priory Church will be open for prayer and reflection from 10am to 4pm on Thursday 15 September. All are welcome.
Open House London will be going ahead as planned on Saturday 17 September.
For Clerkenwell Design Week, the Museum will open its doors to the general public on Tuesday 24th May. We will be open from 10am to 5pm and all general admission to the galleries is free.
The Museum has now opened for the new year! Come visit us Thursdays-Saturdays 10am-5pm, and explore the rich history of the Knights Hospitallers, the Order of St John, and St John Ambulance.
Entry is free and pre-booking is no longer required. At busy times we may ask you to start your visit in the Priory Gallery and Cloister Garden so that we can maintain social distancing in the galleries.
The Museum, its buildings and Cloister Garden are currently closed, but we are working behind the scenes to get ready to welcome you back later in the year.
Our new online exhibition of highlights from our historic library is open now, and theYour Visit page is full of other ways you can visit us virtually.
Thank you for supporting the work of the Museum of the Order of St John, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
We are delighted to announce that at the beginning of this week we were awarded a grant from the government’s Culture Recovery Fund so that we can continue to be #HereForCulture. We are grateful to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, HM Treasury and Arts Council England for this support.
