The history of our justice system revealed.

Mix Mornings with Paul Osgood

There is a new exhibition at St Albans Museum and Gallery. “Catching the Chain” explores and brings to life the history of the UK justice system.

The exhibition opened on October 11th and explores the justice system’s evolution from Roman times to today. Curated by Sarah Keeling, the exhibition delves into historic trials, punishments, and the changing concept of crime, while collaborating with local groups, including ex-offenders, to highlight contemporary justice issues. Visitors can expect interactive elements like a life-sized modern prison cell and thought-provoking questions about punishment and rehabilitation. The exhibition runs until April 21, 2025.
