Crime Museum
About Crime Museum
The Crime Museum is a collection of criminal memorabilia kept at New Scotland Yard, headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service in London, England. Known as the Black Museum until the early 21st century, the museum came into existence at Scotland Yard sometime in 1874, arising out of the collection of prisoners' property gathered as a result of the Forfeiture Act 1870 and intended as an aid to the police in their study of crime and criminals. Initially unofficial, it had become an official if private museum by 1875, with a police inspector and a police constable assigned to official duty there. Not open to the public, it was used as a teaching collection for police recruits and was only ever accessible by those involved in legal matters, royals and other VIPs.

Still waiting on the flute. Not only did they have the neck violin, but I saw as well that in one of these museums, the Crime Museum in Rotterdam, that they got a double neck violin. The idea of the double neck violin was according to the little caption that goes with the with the item is that it was for arguing couples and they would have to walk around with them on, sometimes with bells attached, ringing.
