Galleries of Justice Museum and the City of Caves, Nottingham

You can get a discount if you go to both the Galleries of Justice Museum and the City of Caves, with an even bigger discount for students (lucky!). The Galleries of Justice Museum was more of an interactive tour than a museum, guiding you through a justice system of the 14th century: from the courtroom to the prison sentence to the deportment to Australia.

The City of Caves started from inside the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre. We were led into a part of the cave systems beneath the city which was formerly used as a Tannery. Our guide took us through the techniques used to tan the hides in the olden days and how the caves were used during World War I and II.
