"The brass button. It's an innocuous, ordinary brass button. This was found near the dead body of a woman..." So begins another tale of a terrible connection between a commonplace object and a murder. Orson Welles, host and narrator of Black Museum, welcomes you to Scotland Yard’s "warehouse of homicide." It contains everyday objects that either brought a killer to justice or were used to do their dirty work. In each episode, Welles strolls through the "repository of death" - amongst things like car tires, champagne glasses, and bed sheets. He selects one object and tells its story, usually from the point of view of the inspector who worked the case.
