An exhibition of the shortlisted teams designs for the National Holocaust Memorial and education centre is on display and open to the public in Westminster Hall in Parliament from Monday 26 February.

The new National Holocaust Memorial and accompanying education centre will stand in Victoria Tower Gardens in the shadow of Parliament. This striking new structure will honour victims and survivors of Nazi persecution and will act as a national voice against hatred in our world today.

The international design competition sought to harness the very best architectural talent to create an emotionally powerful and sensitively designed memorial. Ninety-two teams expressed an interest in the project, with a shortlist of 10 invited to submit the concept designs on display as part of this exhibition.

Consultation with the public, survivors, those working in the field of Holocaust remembrance and education, and technical experts will play a crucial role in informing the final decision of the jury. Visitors are invited to give their views as part of the exhibition.

View the 10 shortlisted designs and submit your feedback by email: ukhmf@cabinetoffice.gov.uk. Remember to specify which design team youre referring to when providing feedback.

Access to the exhibition

The exhibition is open from Monday 26 February until Saturday 11 March, from 9am each morning. Entrance is via Parliaments Cromwell Green entrance. Read more about finding the Houses of Parliament.
