From 15 May to 2 November 2008 Museum in Docklands is returning to the scene of London's most infamous crimes in Jack the Ripper and the East End, the first exhibition to explore the Jack the Ripper murders and their enduring legacy.
From police files and photographs to letters from the public and the supposed Ripper himself, examine, for the first time, surviving documents and artifacts from the investigation and follow the crimes as they unfolded.
Step back in time to the labyrinth of late-Victorian Whitechapel, and uncover the human stories behind the sensational reports and explore the lives of the victims, witnesses, suspects and police, and the world they lived in.
Although no one knows who he was, Jack the Ripper is probably the capital's most infamous son, his story passing into legend, shaping the way London and the East End are imagined. Full of objects attesting to the never-ending public appetite for this story, the exhibition will ask why the tale of the Whitechapel murders continues to resonate 120 years on and why this one unknown figure has become so iconic, and so much a part of London.
Unpicking the complex overlapping of reality and imagination, the exhibition questions assumptions about the Whitechapel murders, as well as the enduring human interest in violent death. Rather than trivialising or glamorising the horrific murders from 1888, Museum in Docklands grounds the crimes and our obsession with them in the reality of East End lives.
Tickets can be booked now at www.museumindocklands.org.uk/jacktheripper or on 0844 980 2151. Timed tickets and booking fee apply.
To win one of five pairs of tickets simply answer the following question;
Q) Which part of the East End is most associated with Jack the Ripper?
A) Hackney
Whitechapel :cool:
C) Isle of Dogs
