Usually yes — it is included in the ticket. But the building is a working court, so if a hearing is sitting that day the room closes. Check the official site on the morning of your visit.
The content is aimed at adults and teenagers, and includes material on war crimes and difficult images. Teenagers get a lot from it; young children will not follow it.
This sits west, the old town is central and the Kongresshalle is south-east. All three in one day is possible but packed. Better: this in the morning, the old town in the afternoon.

The Memorium is a permanent exhibition explaining the Nuremberg Trials, on the upper floor of the Palace of Justice — the same building where the trials took place. It sets everything out in order: who the defendants were, how the international court was formed, what the charges were, how the hearings ran and what the verdicts were. It shows documents, photographs and audio from the proceedings themselves, including the voices of the accused. The most important part is what came afterwards: how these trials became the foundation of international criminal law and of later courts around the world. That is what lifts it above a straightforward history display. The ticket also lets you see Courtroom 600 itself when no hearing is sitting. The content is serious and suits adults and teenagers.
