It’s an exciting time in the development of the National Justice Museum which this year became an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation (NPO).

To take forward its ambitious programme of events and exhibitions as an NPO, the Museum is now expanding its Board and is seeking new trustees to support its work. In particular, the Museum seeks people with expertise in:

• museums and heritage
• finance and accounting, and
• fundraising.

It’s key to the NPO programme that the Museum also recruits trustees who represent diversity and who can champion the NPO work.

The National Justice Museum is an independent museum telling the story of law and justice through time. It’s also a leading provider of public legal education offering award-winning learning programmes from its bases in Nottingham’s historic former shire hall and county gaol, the Royal Courts of Justice and Rolls Building in London, and active courts in the North West.

In Nottingham the Museum conserves and exhibits a nationally important collection of 40,000 objects from British criminal justice history. It also operates the City of Caves, a sister Nottingham visitor attraction in a network of sandstone caves that include the country’s only underground medieval tannery.

The Museum is multi award-winning and is growing in stature. It has a remit to diversify its workforce and programmes, and to use storytelling to explore historic and contemporary justice.
