Summer Exhibition – Hot Jungle, Cold War: The Gurkhas in the Borneo Confrontation

Join us this August at The Gurkha Museum for our special Summer Exhibition, located in the second-floor McDonald Gallery.

1 August – 31 October 2026

Discover the remarkable story of the Gurkhas’ role in Borneo during the conflict of 1963-1966, a challenging campaign fought in dense jungle terrain during the height of the Cold War. Through fascinating displays, photographs, artefacts, and personal stories, the exhibition explores the courage, resilience, and contribution of Gurkha soldiers during this important period of history.

Whether you are a history enthusiast, visiting with family, or discovering Gurkha history for the first time, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the experiences of those who served in Borneo.

We look forward to welcoming you throughout August.
