Jack the Ripper Museum

When this misconceived museum opened, its planning application had described it as a 'Museum of Women's History', so the revelation of its real purpose unleashed numerous protests, focussing on the exploitation of the murdered women. 

April 2021: we are pleased to report that the museum's website is crashing with 404 errors and that the property is for sale; "the museum artefacts are not included in the sale but may be available to purchase separately".
