National Justice Museum Trust

The National Justice Museum, High Pavement Nottingham, and the City of Caves nearby in Garners Hill, are run by the National Justice Museum Trust, an educational charity.

Based in Nottingham’s former Shire Hall and County Gaol, we are an independent museum. We first opened on the site in April 1995. Before that the building operated criminal and civil courts.

Our multi award-winning learning programme was set up when the museum first opened. It has expanded and is now available nationally. In 2011, we were appointed learning to provider for London’s Royal Courts of Justice and the Supreme Court, and we have provided learning workshops in courtrooms across the North West since 2014.

The Trust took over the management of the City of Caves visitor attraction in 2004.
