National Justice Museum
High Pavement, Nottingham NG1 1HN England
A visit to the National Justice Museum tends to stay with people long after they’ve left. A museum of crime, punishment and social justice, we are based in the Grade II* listed Shire Hall in Nottingham. Over five floors, our building houses a Victorian courtroom, Georgian gaol, and cells that date back hundreds of years. As you explore our historic spaces, you'll meet our team of costumed characters, ready to share real stories from the history of our gaol. Our actors also re-enact historical court cases, linked to the themes of our latest exhibition. If you're feeling brave, you can even join us for daily hangings in our exercise yard! In our free exhibition spaces, explore themes of modern social justice, inspired by artefacts from our collection. These spaces do not need a Museum admission ticket to enter - our friendly team on reception can point the way.
