National Justice Museum Overview

One of the historical places to see in Nottingham is National Justice Museum, a freestanding museum located on High Pavement in the Lace Market. The museum is located in what was once a Victorian-era courthouse, prison, and police station, making it a historic place where criminals were arrested, tried, convicted, and maybe executed. Both the jail and the courthouse were built in the 14th century.

The National Justice Museum is one of the well-loved places to go in Nottingham among tourists and locals alike being located in the heart of the Lace Market. It's housed in the city's historic courthouse and jail, which dates back to 1780. The museum's courtrooms and a jail built in the 14th century are two of its most popular attractions. As an added bonus, there are several fascinating displays dealing with criminal behaviour and its consequences. Don't miss out on seeing the Robin Hood exhibits. The National Ice Centre, the largest ice-skating rink in the UK, and the contemporary art museum Nottingham Contemporary are both within easy driving distance hence you can visit them too.
