  3. Nottingham Castle Museum & Art Gallery

    More of a mansion than a castle, the stately building here now has been standing since the 1670s. The last Nottingham Castle was demolished after the Civil War, while the original was put up by William the Conqueror. The Nottingham Castle Museum & Art Gallery opened in 1878. It vividly sets out Nottingham's history and displays some of the medieval alabaster carvings for which Nottingham was noted.
