Countdown to reopening of the public galleries
The countdown to change has commenced
As planned, the redevelopment of the public galleries at The Gurkha Museum started on Monday 8 September 2025.
As part of Project Kaida, the Gurkhas’ collection has been removed and placed into secure storage, and the tired thirty-year old displays has been stripped out from the public galleries on the ground and first floors. Updates and photographs of the redevelopment will be shared monthly via our e-newsletters, subscribe here to follow our progress: www.TheGurkhaMuseum.co.uk/Newsletter.
If you weren’t unable to visit us this summer, you can take a virtual tour of the public galleries in their current format: www.TheGurkhaMuseum.co.uk/Blog/Virtual-Tour-2/ and compare with the redevelopment plans (seen here at RIBA Stage 3).
Please note:
Throughout the forthcoming redevelopment, known by its Nepali name Project Kaida, The Gurkha Museum will remain open and operational – continuing to preserve, protect, and promote Gurkha heritage. Even when the public galleries (ground and first floors only) undergo essential renovations, the library, research area, and office on the second floor will be open - we will continue our offer of engaging exhibitions, events, lectures and supporting you.
We look forward to seeing you to our various events and lecture as well as welcoming you to the new public galleries
