Come face to face with the physical evidence from two of the state's most infamous murders, the Pyjama Girl Murder (1934) and the Graeme Thorne Kidnapping (1960). Observe the zinc-lined bath where the Pyjama Girl’s body was suspended in formalin for 10 years.

Interested in the gentleman thieves and bloodthirsty desperadoes from our bushranging past? Ponder the tactics, actions, and justifications of these men beside their weapons, portraits, and personal possessions. You can also examine the fascinating death masks created following execution that preserve their facial features.
