The attic of the museum is a recreation of victim Mary Kelly’s humble living quarters, the room where she lived and died. Here you will learn the life stories of the women he murdered – a poignant exploration of the domestic and working lives of the Ripper’s victims.
If you dare, descend to the morgue, where you can inspect actual autopsy photographs and read the medical reports of the nine women that fell victim to the Ripper’s knife. With all this evidence, perhaps you will be able to solve one of the most famous crime mysteries of all time!
