Museum Floods But Records Stay Safe | Bristol News

A pipe burst above the George Müller Museum in Bristol caused a flood that shut it down—but the priceless orphanage records stored there are unharmed. While the documents themselves survived intact, the room and public areas suffered water damage, delaying reopening. George Müller, a 19th-century philanthropist who ran orphanages for over 10,000 children, remains a towering figure in social history. Today, his legacy lives on through the charitable trust still helping vulnerable kids worldwide—and now, they’re focused on restoring the museum so visitors can rediscover this vital chapter of Bristol’s past.
