OPEN AGAIN!

The Journey permanent exhibition

After a stunning £2 million renovation, we are excited that our award-winning exhibition The Journey is open once again. Book now for tickets six days a week.

Watch the ITV News story about it here:



This exhibition is a walk-through story about refugeeism. It is family-friendly, designed for adults and children aged 9 +. It is also the UK's only Holocaust exhibition appropriate for primary school-aged children.

The Journey immerses you in the life of Leo, a German Jewish boy living in Nazi-era Berlin. Walk through his story as it unfolds in a series of rooms, from his family home to school to street and eventually, after the events of the 1938 'Kristallnacht' pogrom, to escape as a refugee, alone, on a train to a new life in England.

The Journey is now an even more powerful, participatory experience with new interactive technology, over 300 objects and gripping new story features to discover. It will make people of all ages think about what forces anyone to have to become a refugee. 

Leo exemplifies the refugee experience for so many people who have fled for their lives to find safety in Britain. Woven into this exhibition, you will discover a staggering 100 clips of testimony from survivors of the Holocaust as well as the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia and Srebrenica.

Free with admission ticket.

The National Holocaust Museum would like to thank all its supporters who so generously funded this exciting upgrade of The Journey. In particular we thank The National Lottery Heritage Fund and lottery players everywhere, Claims Conference, the Pears Foundation, Arts Council England and the Rachel Charitable Trust.

Fabricated?

Solo exhibition by Caren Garfen

On until 27th January 2026


How do we counter harmful conspiracy theories, Holocaust misinformation, and anti-Jewish racism? Sometimes the answers can come in surprisingly small formats. Award-winning artist Caren Garfen creates tiny works that are full of profound insights. From 12 October 2025, the National Holocaust Museum is delighted to feature some of these works in its exhibition “Fabricated?”.

The Vicious Circle

A powerful travelling exhibition which first appeared in London for Holocaust Memorial Day 2025.

Currently on tour in Europe. New UK dates will be announced later this year. Please check back here.

Other exhibitions on currently:

I Say British, You Say Jewish | temporary exhibition

What does it mean to be two things at once? This exhibition invites you to question myths and discover realities – the many wonderful, curious and sometimes amusing pluralities – of being British and Jewish. After a successful run touring major cities across the UK, this exhibition is now on display in the Pears Auditorium at the Museum. Featuring artefacts, photography and an interactive experience. 

Free with admission ticket.

The Holocaust | permanent exhibition

This exhibition is designed for visitors aged 14 years and older. It aims to tell a story of people and how their lives are affected by history. The exhibition reminds visitors that knowing what happened in the Holocaust is the first necessary step to understanding it.

Free with admission ticket.
