Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, it stands as a testament to our commitment to preserving history, celebrating culture, and creating immersive and educational experiences for all.

The redesign of The Gurkha Museum represents a significant opportunity for us to showcase our expertise and passion for storytelling, working to honour the rich history and valiant contributions of the Gurkha soldiers.

The Gurkha Museum, situated in the heart of Winchester, serves as a crucial repository of the history and heritage of the Gurkha Brigade, a unique unit within the British Army. The redesign project, funded by a generous grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, aims to revitalise the museum space, creating a more immersive and engaging visitor experience.

The Project Kaida will involve a comprehensive overhaul of the museum’s exhibitions, displays, and interactive elements, with a focus on incorporating the latest in museum design trends and technologies. PLB is committed to creating a space that is not only visually stunning but also accessible to all, ensuring that the stories of the Gurkha soldiers are shared with the widest possible audience.

The project is set to commence immediately, with a short period for refurbishment before opening for the public in December 2025. PLB looks forward to working closely with The Gurkha Museum team, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, project managers, activity planners, accessibility consultants and the wider Nepalese community to deliver a museum space that celebrates the Gurkha legacy and contributes to the cultural vibrancy of Winchester.
