As far as I am aware there have been tentative nods at it going ahead but no definate answer. I believe they are talking to all of the 'blue light' services so that will be interesting.

They dropped the un-PC name 'Black Museum' some years back.

Personally I feel it holds no public benefit to open it.

Taussards wouldnt be too happy either.

Hi Ken,

With a name like Boris he could open his own museum.

Obviously the public wouldn't be benefited from it's opening but it would be of historical interest to many i should imagine, also, Madame Tussaud's off loaded 99% of it's relics associated with the Chamber of Horrors years ago. If you go there now all you'll experience is a low quality scare show and the sight of an original guillotine blade
