Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum is a museum within St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. The museum showcases the laboratory used by Alexander Fleming which led to the discovery of penicilin, and won him the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain.
The laboratory is restored to its 1928 condition, to provide visitors an insight into Fleming's work leading to the discovery and development of penicilin. The museum was declared an International Historic Chemical Landmark in 1999. The hospital also received a San Marino Idea Award for being one of the five great advances of the 20th century.
