Great experience! I will say it’s a lot of walking and standing and also it is a lot of reading that you have to take in. Very worth it!

Great exhibit! Interesting artifacts and interactive displays. Staff was incredibly friendly and informative. Definitely worth a trip!! To properly see the entire exhibit, plan on staying more than a couple of hours. Housed at a cool spot in Chicago.

Extremely thorough and very well done. There was nothing that was too “in your face.” If I didn't want to see something or I felt it was too graphic for me then I just moved along. It was interesting to read some facts about each one that I wouldn’t have expected. I greatly appreciated the benches every now and then to sit and rest my back! It was great to have the many data boards at the end which I was very surprised by many of those numbers. This was a very well researched exposition.

Wow, there was a lot to see and read. Only suggestion would be to turn up the lights just a bit. We had to use our phone lights to see some things clearly and read some of the info. But truly a lot of material and information!

Quite an expansive display of materials. Great information and pictures. I was there for over three hours and could have stayed longer. Well done.

In short About the exhibition

Dare to confront the documented reality of serial crime at the world's first and only exhibition entirely focused on serial killers. Following its success in London, Paris and Berlin and its U.S. premiere in Atlanta, Chicago is the second stop of the American tour, with over 2,100 authentic artifacts gathered over ten years with more than sixty collectors worldwide. Rare originals include Jeffrey Dahmer's glasses and the chainsaw used by the Kansas City Butcher, and the Chicago edition adds expanded sections on H.H. Holmes and John Wayne Gacy. Not fiction, not dramatization: real evidence, presented while honoring the names and lives of the victims.

Please note: this exhibition deals with real crimes and displays authentic evidence. It is recommended for ages 14+ and is not suitable for sensitive audiences. Children under 14 are admitted only when accompanied by an adult.
