Florence Nightingale: A Living Portrait

Much like today’s social media, public opinion has long shaped perceptions of famous figures – Florence Nightingale among them. But who was the real Lady with the Lamp? We deconstructed Nightingale’s persona, contrasting her public image with her own words, through an interactive experience that culminated in an AI-driven digital display transforming her portrait in real-time as visitors shared their opinions about her. By blending innovative design, visitor reflections and advanced storytelling technology, the exhibition resonated with modern audiences and highlighted Nightingale’s complexity and legacy.
