National Justice Museum

National Justice Museum

High Pavement, NG1 1HN

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, it is based in the Grade II listed Shire Hall in Nottingham. Over five floors, the building houses a Victorian courtroom, Georgian gaol, and cells that date back hundreds of years.

As you explore the historic spaces, you'll meet a team of costumed characters, ready to share real stories from the history of the gaol. The actors also re-enact historical court cases, linked to the themes of the latest exhibition. In the exercise yard, discover what public executions would have been like when the County Gaol was in use, and explore the history of capital punishment.
