On Princes Street in Derby, the National Sikh Heritage Centre and Holocaust Museum occupies a building in the DE23 8NT postal area, a short distance from the city centre. The museum brings together two distinct but connected threads of history – Sikh heritage spanning several centuries and the memory of the Holocaust – under one roof, and admission is free to all visitors.
What the Museum Covers
The National Sikh Heritage Centre and Holocaust Museum is one of very few institutions in the United Kingdom to place Sikh history and Holocaust remembrance side by side. The Sikh collections trace the history, faith, culture, and contributions of the Sikh community, while the Holocaust galleries are dedicated to documenting and preserving the memory of those who suffered during the genocide of the Second World War. The combination reflects a commitment to education around identity, persecution, and human dignity that draws visitors from across the country.
Visiting and Getting There
The museum sits on Princes Street in Derby, within easy reach of the city’s road network and public transport routes. Entry is free, making it accessible to school groups, families, and independent visitors alike. The official website at nationalsikhmuseum.com provides up-to-date information on opening times, events, and any temporary exhibitions running alongside the permanent collections.
