Jack the Ripper and the East End
The Museum in Docklands in London, England was the setting for this exhibit that explored the history and legends that surround the city's most infamous resident, Jack the Ripper. The exhibit incorporated police files, photographs, and letters that ranged from those written by the general public to letters believed to be written by the Ripper himself. The evidence included police documents that speculate that the Ripper may have been guilty of up to 11 murders, rather than the five that are traditionally attributed to the same person. Visitors were not only be able to explore the notorious crimes of the serial killer, but also got a look at life in the East End in the late 1800s and the enduring fascination of the crimes that are now over 100 years old. In addition to the exhibit, there was also a series of lectures, films, discussions, as well as guided tours of the very streets where the crimes took place.
Closed
This exhibit was open from May 15 to November 2, 2008. It is now closed, but the material and history available in the exhibit is still available on the Museum's Web page on the exhibit below.
