For the first time in its history Scotland Yard’s Crime Museum (formerly known as the Black Museum) will be loaning objects to be used in an innovative and multilayered experimental exhibition blending aspects of the traditional museum interpretation and contemporary installation at the Galleries of Justice museum. 

 

Police museums tend to shy away from tackling controversial issues. This exhibition will examine the police’s involvement in the strike.  It will also examine the plight of all the miners (both striking and non striking). 

By providing a balanced view of all parties involved, this thought-provoking exhibition will enhance the understanding of how and why violence escalated on the picket line. 

The subject of this exhibition was chosen to mark the 25^th Anniversary of the miner’s strike and because of its local significance.
