The Museum celebrates the life and work of Dr Edward Jenner, discoverer of vaccination against smallpox. It occupies the Chantry, the elegant Georgian house, set in one-acre of gardens, which was Edward Jenner's home. Displays include; an audio-visual biography; personal memorabilia; a reconstruction of Edward Jenner's study; exhibits on smallpox and its eradication; and computer interactive displays on immunology, the science which he founded. Dr Jenner's vinery and 'The Temple of Vaccinia' (the rustic summer house in which he vaccinated the poor) are open to visitors.
The Edward Jenner Museum and Berkeley Castle now offer a joint ticket to both attractions, which represents excellent value for money: Adults £11.00, senior & students £9.00, child £6.00, family £29.50.
New for 2009: Programme of events including 'Charles Darwin: Walking on Dinosaurs' and 'Ghosts in the Attic: from Smallpox to MMR'.
