There are three statues of Nightingale in Derby – one outside the [[Derbyshire Royal Infirmary]] (DRI), one in St Peter's Street, and one above the Nightingale-Macmillan Continuing Care Unit opposite the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary. A [[public house|pub]] named after her stands close to the DRI.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.derby-guide.co.uk/florence_nightingale.html |title=Florence Nightingale |publisher=Derby Guide |access-date=13 March 2010 |archive-date=27 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090527130555/http://www.derby-guide.co.uk/florence_nightingale.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The Nightingale-Macmillan continuing care unit is now at the [[Royal Derby Hospital]], formerly known as The City Hospital, Derby.<ref>{{cite news |title=Nightingale Macmillan Continuing Care Unit |url=https://www.derby.org.uk/info/5327/ |access-date=3 February 2022 |website=Derby.org.uk}}</ref> A [[stained glass window]] was commissioned for inclusion in the DRI chapel in the late 1950s. When the chapel was demolished the window was removed and installed in the replacement chapel. At the closure of the DRI, the window was again removed and stored. In October 2010, £6,000 was raised to reposition the window in [[St Peter's Church, Derby]]. The work features nine panels, of the original ten, depicting scenes of hospital life, Derby townscapes, and Nightingale herself. Some of the work was damaged and the tenth panel was dismantled for the glass to be used in the repair of the remaining panels. All the figures, who are said to be modelled on prominent Derby town figures of the early sixties, surround and praise a central pane of the triumphant Christ. A nurse who posed for the top right panel in 1959 attended the rededication service in October 2010.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-11519689 |title= Nurses attend tribute to Florence Nightingale in Derby |publisher=[[BBC News]] |date=11 October 2010 |access-date=21 June 2018 |archive-date=9 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181109214335/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-11519689 |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[Florence Nightingale Museum]] at [[St Thomas' Hospital]] in London reopened in May 2010 in time for the centenary of Nightingale's death.<ref name="Express">{{cite news |title=Florence Nightingale: the medical superstar |url=http://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/170640/Florence-Nightingale-the-medical-superstar |newspaper=Daily Express |date=12 May 2016 |access-date=12 May 2016 |archive-date=4 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160604022839/http://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/170640/Florence-Nightingale-the-medical-superstar |url-status=live }}</ref> Another museum devoted to her is at her sister's family home, [[Claydon House]], now a property of the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]].<ref>{{NHLE |num=1288461|desc=Claydon House |access-date=26 December 2016 |mode=cs2}}</ref><ref>{{NHLE |num=1000597 |desc=Claydon |access-date=26 December 2016 |mode=cs2}}</ref> Upon the centenary of Nightingale's death in 2010, and to commemorate her connection with [[Malvern, Worcestershire|Malvern]], the [[Malvern Museum]] held a Florence Nightingale exhibit<ref name=MalvernMuseum>{{cite web |title=Malvern Museum's Nightingale Exhibit March – October 2010 |url=http://www.malvernmuseum.co.uk/index.php/events2010.html |access-date=16 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100619005209/http://www.malvernmuseum.co.uk/index.php/events2010.html |archive-date=19 June 2010 }}</ref> with a school poster competition to promote some events.<ref name=MalvernGazette21June2010>{{cite news |date=21 June 2010 |title=Chase pupil wins poster competition |newspaper=Malvern Gazette |publisher=Newsquest Media Group |url=http://www.malverngazette.co.uk/news/8230148.Chase_pupil_wins_poster_competition/ |access-date=12 July 2010 |archive-date=20 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720234038/http://www.malverngazette.co.uk/news/8230148.Chase_pupil_wins_poster_competition/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In Istanbul, the northernmost tower of the Selimiye Barracks building is now the Florence Nightingale Museum.<ref name=NightingaleMuseumIstanbul>{{cite news |date=15 September 2007 |title=The Florence Nightingale Museum (Istanbul) |newspaper=Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/turkey/738278/The-Florence-Nightingale-Museum.html |access-date=16 July 2010 |archive-date=7 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100307062704/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/turkey/738278/The-Florence-Nightingale-Museum.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and in several of its rooms, relics and reproductions related to Florence Nightingale and her nurses are on exhibition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.florence-nightingale-avenging-angel.co.uk/tower.htm |title=Florence Nightingale |publisher=Florence-nightingale-avenging-angel.co.uk |access-date=13 March 2010 |archive-date=26 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180926130023/http://www.florence-nightingale-avenging-angel.co.uk/tower.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> When Nightingale moved on to the Crimea itself in May 1855, she often travelled on horseback to make hospital inspections. She later transferred to a mule cart and was reported to have escaped serious injury when the cart was toppled in an accident. Following this, she used a solid Russian-built black carriage, with a waterproof hood and curtains. The carriage was returned to England by [[Alexis Soyer]] after the war and subsequently given to the Nightingale training school. The carriage was damaged when the hospital was bombed during the Second World War. It was restored and transferred to Claydon House and is now displayed at the [[Army Medical Services Museum]] in [[Mytchett]], Surrey, near [[Aldershot]].<ref>{{cite news |title=New Welsh home confirmed for military medical museum |url=https://www.military-history.org/museum-profiles/new-welsh-home-confirmed-for-military-medical-museum.htm |access-date=3 January 2022 |website=Military History.org}}</ref> [[File:Florence Nightingale bust Gun Hill Park 2021.jpg|thumb|upright|Bust of Nightingale unveiled at [[Gun Hill Park]] in [[Aldershot]] in 2021]] A bronze plaque, attached to the plinth of the Crimean Memorial in the [[Haydarpaşa Cemetery]], Istanbul, Turkey and unveiled on [[Empire Day]], 1954, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of her nursing service in that region, bears the inscription: "To Florence Nightingale, whose work near this Cemetery a century ago relieved much human suffering and laid the foundations for the nursing profession."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cwgc.org/admin/files/cwgc_haidar.pdf |title=Commonwealth War Graves Commission Haidar Pasha Cemetery |access-date=13 March 2010 |archive-date=7 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807080236/http://www.cwgc.org/admin/files/cwgc_haidar.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> Other monuments of Nightingale include a statue at [[Chiba University]] in Japan, a bust at [[Tarlac State University]] in the Philippines, and a bust at [[Gun Hill Park]] in [[Aldershot]] in the UK.
