A few months ago, the opening of a Jack the Ripper museum on Cable Street in the East End of London hit the news for all the wrong reasons. If they'd just called it a Jack the Ripper Museum and made it something ghoulish like the London Dungeon there probably wouldn't have been any more notice taken than the opening of any other shameless tourist

"Now I've never been in a police detective's office modern or otherwise so I can't speak to the accuracy, but I felt this the best exhibit of the lot. "
For what it's worth, Fern Riddell also went if you hadn't seen her review, she's one of the historical consultants on Ripper Street which tries as best it can to be authentic, she was not at all impressed
A Jack the Ripper historian reviewed the Jack the Ripper Museum. It didn't exactly go well

But yeah, it's impressive how good people like Class War are at persuading people to take the opposite side on any issue they campaign on, even when they've got an open goal they mess it up.

I used to work in Spitalfields and my office was just in front of one of the murder sites, which is now a car park . Many evenings I'd be heading home past a gaggle of hacked-off tourists on a Jack the Ripper tour as the guide said "Now, you need to imagine..."

I've not been to the Dracula museum, but I have been to the Museum of Witchcraft in Boscastle, which is similarly delightfully awful.
