I don't know the names like you all do, but whoever he was had medical skills and knowledge of Masonic rituals so he had to be a part of the upper class of the time!

Sir William Gull, like in From Hell then? have you read the graphic novel? I highly recommend it, it's practically a work of art, so multi-layered

Alan Moore, who wrote the graphic novel, distanced himself from the film, so it may be worth a look

I believe the graphic novel came first anyway, perhaps one day, I've liked Moore's work in the past.

I have no interest towards Jack the Ripper. He was a sad weakling who propably could not get it up and thus had to kill women for it.

no semen was ever found at the crime scenes, nor any evidence of rape or even basic molestation!

I wiki'd it!

The Black Museum of Scotland Yard is a famed collection of criminal memorabilia kept at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police in London, England. Established in 1948, it was intended to help the police in their study of crime and criminals. Despite being intended primarily for use by the police, the public could see it by special arrangement. The name "Black Museum" was a nickname; the collection was formally referred to as the "Museum." The term was also applied to a museum of failed engineering components collected by David Kirkaldy at his testing works at 99 Southwark Street, Southwark, London. The latter museum was destroyed in the London Blitz.

[edit] About
The exhibits included many death masks made of executed criminals, as well as collections of weapons, tools used by burglars, and items that had been evidence in crimes. In 1951, Orson Welles produced a radio program for the BBC called The Black Museum, inspired by the catalogue of items on display. Each week, he featured an item from the museum and produced a dramatization of the story surrounding the object to the macabre delight of audiences. The American radio writer Wyllis Cooper also wrote and directed a similar anthology for NBC that ran at the same time in the U. S. Called Whitehall 1212, for the telephone number of Scotland Yard, the program debuted on November 18, 1951, hosted by Chief Superintendent John Davidson, curator of the Black Museum.

The Museum was moved to New Scotland Yard in the 1980s and was subject to substantial renovation in recent years. The "Crime Museum", as it is now called, currently resides in Room 101 at New Scotland Yard and consists of two sections. The first, a replica of the original museum contains a substantial selection of melee weapons, some overt, some concealed, including shotgun umbrellas and numerous walking stick swords. This room also contains a selection of hangmans nooses including that used to perform the UK's last ever execution and notes allegedly written by Jack the Ripper. The newer section of the museum contains many exhibits from 20th century crimes, notable inclusions include the fake De Beers diamond from the Millennium Dome heist and Dennis Nilsen's stove. The museum can be visited by Police officers from any of the country's police forces by prior appointment, though not without difficulty due to its popularity.
