The #CrimeMuseumUncovered closed on this day in 2016. At the time of closing it was the most visited exhibition @MuseumofLondon in its history - this was soon to change (more on that soon). On closing with the hoarding up, we began to remove some of the title lettering...
This exhibition had over 600 loans from the Crime Museum at Scotland Yard. This is what 600 loans paperwork and condition reporting looks like. We packed every single item for transportation. Below is the shield from the Broadwater Farm Riots.
Case layouts are always an experience, especially when we need to improvise on objects that are not in the building yet. These are layouts for The Great Train Robbery, John Haigh and the Drugs displays #CrimeMuseumUncovered
We popped down to Hendon to check on the Police Car that would be in the main entrance of the exhibition. Once in the building it was the focus of many press shots.
Here are some behind the scenes installation shots for you, its always fun to lock a conservator into a display case #CrimeMuseumUncovered
Working in museums in general create some of the best email threads - 'should two of us load the store & the others go with the drugs?, 'yeah if you stick with the drugs, I'll do the rest'. Massive
