ACS visit to Bethlem Museum

Guided by Museum Trustee and ACS member Nick Hervey, members of the Committee explored the excellent Museum of the Mind near Beckenham on Saturday 21st February.

There were some fascinating stories about how the hospital developed, and how treatments for mental health issues have evolved. There’s also some amazing artwork produced by people undergoing treatment. Afterwards there was time for a coffee and a quick Committee Meeting!
