Welcome to the Gurkha Memorial Museum

The museum concentrates on the history of Gurkha soldiers who joined the British Army since 1815 and later the Indian Army after independence in 1947.

Our 3-floor galleries are brought alive by sound and colored light, displaying hundreds of photographs, medals, uniforms, and items from many historic campaigns and regimental life.
