Learning in Nottingham
Our inspirational educational visits use real courtrooms, museum spaces and objects to help pupils gain a hands-on understanding of the law and justice.
With programmes for primary (KS1 and KS2) and for secondary schools and colleges, we tell the story of law and order across five floors of diverse and intriguing exhibits.
Our 18th century Grade II listed building provides a perfect setting for learning. It has two authentic Victorian courtrooms, an 800-year-old prison complete with original Georgian cells, exercise yard, and medieval dungeons.
