Glenside Museum, Stapleton

Glenside was opened in 1861 as a lunatic asylum, serving over 1000 patients a year at its peak, with both a farm and orchard onsite.  When it closed in 1994, a former consultant psychiatrist who worked at Glenside in the 1950s, Dr. Donal Early, transformed the former chapel into a museum, documenting the history of the institution.
