Acid Bath Murderer’s comb among artefacts available to ‘adopt’ at Horsham Museum
Created by The Friends of Horsham Museum & Art Gallery, the money raised through the scheme will finance vital projects within the museum, such as the conservation of its collections, supporting the children’s free and popular art zone, enabling new projects to be undertaken for the benefit of the community and for the purchase of important objects.
There are 30 exhibits to adopt, at the standard rate of £25 for adults or £10 for children, including a suit of armour, Attwater’s cricket stumps, bat and bal, Willoth the dragon, Pentacycle and Acid Bath Murderer John Haigh’s comb which he used while awaiting trial at Lewes Assizes in 1949.
