Galleries of Justice is a famous museum in Nottingham, located in the Lace Market in the city.
The museum houses a courtroom that dates back to 1375; there is also a prison that was built in 1449.
The buildings of the Galleries of Justice were used as prisons and courtrooms from 1780 to 1980: were officially closed in 1986. Now the building serves as a museum open to the public.
The museum displays details about the various types of punishment used in different periods; visitors can see the details in the worksheets and also view some of the instruments.
Current prisoner’s re-enact the historical trials in the courtrooms; they display the method of trail over various time periods.
Visitors can take a stroll through some of the prison cells which are open to the public.
Special Ghost Tours are arranged for tourists to reveal the mysterious and horrifying past of this prison.
