Memorium Nürnberger Prozesse, International law museum in Nuremberg, Germany.
The Memorium Nürnberger Prozesse occupies the upper floor of the Palace of Justice and documents the international military tribunals that followed the Second World War. The rooms display original court documents, photographs, and audio recordings from the proceedings.
In 1945 and 1946, court proceedings against Nazi leaders took place here, establishing new standards for prosecuting war crimes. These trials laid the foundation for modern international criminal law.
The trials transformed how the world approaches justice and accountability, and visitors can see how this legacy remains relevant in discussions about international law today. The museum reflects on what these proceedings meant for establishing shared standards of justice.
Visitors should take the stairs or elevator to the upper floor where the exhibition starts and multiple rooms can be explored. Most people need between one and two hours to see everything.
The building functions not only as a museum but also houses active courts today that meet on the lower floors. Visitors can observe how a historic location operates alongside modern justice.
