Scotland Yard's Infamous 'Black Museum' Opens Friday

To those who like crime thrillers, past and present, there is an interesting exhibition on the anvil.

A esoteric collection of items from the Metropolitan Police's Crime Museum, nicknamed "The Black Museum," will be on exhibition on Friday, according to BBC News.

The museum has a collection of evidence and artifacts from some infamous crimes and will be displayed at the Museum of London.

Various objects, including those of Emily Kaye, are among the artifacts. While the case was disorganised and roped in "shoddy police work", it did move on to some novel police procedures, according to The Guardian.

"When Spilsbury arrived at the beach cottage, he was horrified at the lack of organisation of the evidence. Officers were sifting through things with their hands," said Jackie Keily, co-curator of the exhibition. "It was because of this case that Scotland Yard got what were then called 'detective boxes'."

There are displays of acid bath murders and a Ruby Keen case, in which soil analysis was used to convict a murderer.

"The artifacts held in the museum will provide visitors with insight into the evolution of crime investigation and criminal justice," said Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner. "The public will view exhibits from some of the most complex and indeed notorious criminal investigations carried out by the Met, and discover how such crimes were solved."
