    The Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum in London, England, offers visitors a glimpse into the historic site where penicillin was discovered. Located at St. Mary's Hospital, the museum preserves Fleming's workplace, including his reconstructed laboratory. Many visitors appreciate the small but informative nature of the exhibit, which effectively conveys the importance of Fleming's work and the impact of penicillin on modern medicine. The museum's authenticity is often praised, as it allows guests to see the actual environment where this groundbreaking discovery took place. Some reviewers note that the museum can be completed in about an hour, making it a quick yet educational stop. While most find the experience worthwhile, a few mention that the limited size might not appeal to those seeking a more extensive museum visit. The knowledgeable staff and the inclusion of Fleming's personal effects add depth to the experience. However, some visitors suggest that more interactive elements or a wider context of medical history could enhance the exhibit. Despite its compact size, the museum generally receives positive feedback for its historical significance and educational value.
