The Gurkha Museum is perhaps one of Winchester’s better kept secrets. However, that is all set to change following the exciting news, recently released by The Gurkha Museum Trust,of a transformative grant of £2,681,278 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund! This will enable The Gurkha Museum to undergo a significant redevelopment, referred to by its Nepali name Project Kaida. This will transform the Museum from a modest military exhibit into a world class must-visit attraction, and the global reference point and educational centre for Gurkha heritage, honouring the legacy of the Gurkha soldier. This follows hard on the heels of the Trust being named as a finalist in the Smiley Charity Film Awards for ‘The Future of Gurkha Heritage’. So double congrats are due.
