The Gurkha Museum, Military museum in Peninsula Barracks, Winchester, England
The Gurkha Museum displays military artifacts, uniforms, medals, and interactive exhibits documenting 200 years of Gurkha service to the British Crown.
Founded in 1974 at Church Crookham, the museum relocated to Peninsula Barracks in Winchester in 1990, where it continues to preserve Gurkha military heritage.
The exhibits present Nepalese traditions through photographs, artifacts, and multimedia displays that explain the customs of Gurkha soldiers and their homeland.
The museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with free entry for children under 16 and military personnel.
The McDonald Gallery hosts monthly Nepali curry lunches where visitors can experience traditional food while examining military collections and medals.
