National Justice Museum

The National Justice Museum (previously the Galleries of Justice Museum and, historically, the Shire Hall and County Gaol) is an independent museum in Nottingham, England, located on High Pavement in the Lace Market district. The museum is located in a former Victorian courthouse, prison, and police station, making it a historically significant location where someone might be arrested, tried, condemned, and killed. The courtrooms originate from the 14th century and the gaol from 1449. The museum is a registered charity and the building is a Grade II* listed structure.

The National Justice Museum, housed in Nottingham's centuries-old Shire Hall and County Gaol, explores the history and presence of law and justice in the United Kingdom. You'll meet numerous historical characters—all with a story to tell—watch a replica of a major court trial, hear about prison reform, and—if you're daring enough—join one of the scary ghost tours—during your stay.
