The museum was ecstatic to welcome Deep Purple lead singer Ian Gillan and his incredible assistant Sally to the Police Museum today. We swapped stories and remembered a wonderful Lady by the name of Mitzi Dupree, whose pingpong ball is on display in our halls.
Ian, thank you so much for your time, wonderful sense of humour and willingness to share the very best stories. I’ll not look at a buoy the same way again.

Do you want fun, bizarre and unconventional?
Because is this and so much more.
Coming from the creation of merging the words Hellebore and Wolfsbane, Hellebane started with insect taxidermy and now creates fascinating oddities, bone craft jewelry and hand illustrated art. If anyone can resist, it's beyond us.

Welcoming one of our favourite vendors back for both days of our Mortuary Markets, Astral Oracle

Specializing in handcrafted resin jewelry and talismans with a mystical and haunting feel. Every piece is a work of art, beautifully detailed, resonating with themes of ritual, symbolism and the arcane. A perfect fit for the esoteric nature of the Mortuary Market.

We regret to inform that accessibility to the museum is lacking, situated at the top of a heritage building, up 2 1/2 flights of stairs with no elevator. We apologise for this lack of accessibility.
