The Black Museum Series  is based on Scotland YardÃ??s Black Museum (aka Crime Museum) in London, where crime artifacts are stored. This is the largest and oldest museum of its type. Although it is not open to the public, we can get a glimpse of what lays inside through this show. Each program is based on a real crime story and an object from that museum. The show was a reenactment of a homicide in which each item was a key piece of evidence, and as enacted mainly from the police inspector in the case. The episodes describe how they arrived at clues, the step by step gathering of evidence, the unglamorous waiting and watching, until the police finally zero in on the culprit.
