The future of Gurkha heritage: delivering Project Kaida
The Gurkha Museum is undergoing a major redevelopment to transform from a small military museum into a world-class heritage destination that celebrates and educates about the 210-year history and contributions of the Gurkhas. The transformation is scheduled to begin in 2025, with the museum closing that same year and reopening in mid-2026.
The Gurkha Museum is embarking on an exciting evolution, shifting from a small military museum into a vibrant must-visit heritage destination that will be the reference point for Gurkha heritage worldwide. This exciting redevelopment initiative includes renovated public galleries, a cutting-edge reference, research, and education centre, and a comprehensive digitalisation of its extensive archives. In addition, an innovative activity and education outreach program will make the rich history of the Gurkhas accessible to all ages.
