THE GURKHA MUSEUM TRUST'S STORY SO FAR...
The Gurkha Museum has come a long way since its humble beginnings in a converted barrack block back in 1974 at Church Crookham. Now located in Winchester, the Museum is a popular destination for Gurkha heritage enthusiasts and attracts visitors from across the globe. Click here to read about the original move from Church Crookham to Winchester, from our Patron Colonel Denis Wood.
We remain dedicated to sharing the military, cultural and human stories, made possible by the unwavering support of our network.
Sudha Rai, Trustee of The Gurkha Museum Trust, says "The redevelopment of The Gurkha Museum, or Project Kaida using its Nepali name, is hugely significant for the global Gurkha and Nepali communities."
Hari Budha Magar MBE, Gurkha Veteran, says "The Gurkha Museum has the remit to record what it means to be a Gurkha and celebrate our past, current and future successes. It is our responsibility to support them to record and present our heritage, our kaida."
When complete, The Gurkha Museum will be the global reference centre for Gurkha heritage and the must-visit destination which honours the Gurkhas' historic, current and future contributions. The design documents (RIBA Stage 3) can be viewed here and the link to the flythrough of the new Museum is below.
Please help us secure this exciting future for The Gurkha Museum.
