My view (and you may be surprised by this) is absolutely not. It's easy to make these suggestions if one has not actually seen the Black Museum and been guided around it by an experienced police officer, as I was privileged to do. However, unlike those genuine attractions which deal in the dark parts of history such as the London Dungeon, these objects are real and the crimes that were committed with them or associated with them are real as well. It is the mundanity of the evil on display that is completely chilling ' ordinary objects that were used for unspeakable purposes and in my opinion, they should not be seen out of context and sensationalised, which inevitably will be the case.
Perhaps part of the problem is the use of the word "Museum' which implies something that should by default be a place of public access. This is not the case: they are a collection of items that are used for training and for academic study and should remain that way.
