The Gurkha Museum

The Gurkha Museum at Winchester tells the moving and unique story of Gurkha service to the British Crown and its people for 200 years. Gurkha graves are spread across the face of the earth in nearly every country in which Britain has fought – silent testament to Gurkha loyalty and courage. Enter the Museum and learn about Nepal, the land of the Gurkhas. View our online video and absorb Nepalese cultural diversity, religious beliefs, dress and customs.

As part of redevelopment project, the Gurkhas’ collection has been removed and placed into secure storage, and the tired thirty-year old displays has been stripped out from the public galleries on the ground and first floors. Throughout the forthcoming redevelopment, The Gurkha Museum will remain open and operational – continuing to preserve, protect, and promote Gurkha heritage.  Even when the public galleries (ground and first floors only) undergo essential renovations, the library, research area, and office on the second floor will be open . We will continue our offer of engaging exhibitions, events, and lectures.
