The Galleries of Justice in Nottingham was the first major HLF/ERDF project to be undertaken in the UK and offers an example of a successfull project in a fragmented and highly-challenging listed building. The two main exhibitions - Police Station and Crime and Punishment - were treated thematically. Visitors are given 'bite-sized' features, looking at different aspects of the central theme.

Event's client in Nottingham showed an impressive willingness to take on tough issues and promote lively discussion. The Galleries work closely with inner city schools and special needs groups and include a hard-hitting audiovisual presentation where children talk about issues such as drugs, peer pressure and bullying.
