The Museum of the Order of St John tells a unique and fascinating story — the story of the Order of St John — from its origins in eleventh century Jerusalem, through to its role today with St John Ambulance and the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem.
This story, which spans more than 900 years, includes many key events and people. Beginning with the Crusades, and continuing through revolts and revolutions, war and peace, the story crosses the centuries and shows how, from its origins in founding a hospital to care for sick pilgrims in eleventh century Jerusalem, St John has maintained its caring role to the present day, working in countries throughout the world on numerous humanitarian projects. The Museum’s diverse collections explore all aspects of the Order’s history and include rare manuscripts, silver and armour, as well as historic First Aid equipment and memorabilia from St John’s role in the First and Second World Wars. GUIDED TOURS Tours last about 80 minutes, Public tours are for a maximum of 15 visitors at a time, Places are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. To bring a party of more than 10 people please email us on museum@nhq.sja.org.uk to arrange for a private tour with a dedicated guide.
