The National Justice Museum (formerly the Galleries of Justice Museum), also known as the Shire Hall, is an independent museum and a registered charity on High Pavement in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, England. The museum is housed in what was once a Victorian courtroom, gaol and police station, and is therefore a historic site where an individual could be arrested, sentenced and executed. The courtrooms date back to the 14th century and the gaol to at least 1449, the building was used as a police station from 1905 to 1985, and the courts closed in 1986.
Excellent museum if you can stomach the ugly history of human "justice." There are interactive plays. Lots of rooms and exhibits to wander through; you can get lost LOL. Staff are engaged and loved sharing their knowledge. I've worked with the John Howard and Elizabeth Fry Societies for years and have never looked into who they were so was pleased that both appeared in this museum. I was able to learn about their involvement in justice reform. Tickets can be purchased online but I was able to buy upon arrival.
