Hidden within Scotland Yard lies The Black Museum, a collection of macabre artifacts, established in 1875, used exclusively for police training. Each object--from hammers to hangman's ropes, gloves to gasoline cans, buttons to bayonets--has a dark story about crime or violence. Re-Imagined Radio explores these stories as they were told from four classic radio series: Secrets of Scotland Yard, The Black Museum, Whitehall 1212, and Fabian of the Yard. From our documentary series.
