Validity as a museum
There has been debate in the museums community about the Jack the Ripper Museum about if it should be classified as a museum or a tourist attraction. It is not an accredited museum and thus not recognised as such by the Museums Association, AIM or any other organisations in the heritage sector. Here's a critical review from the Londonist. Should the classification be changed from Museums in London to Tourist attractions in London? Rather than unilaterally change the category, I thought it best to seek consensus as it is a controversial issue. I am not connected with JtRM in any way, nor do I speak on behalf of the MA or any relevant body. I have added a few links to the article in response to the request at the top of the page.

Updated categories to reflect concensus of the museum community. Please see note above. I have also left a note for Jack06. HistoryNeedsYou (talk) 14:50, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Not sure I see a consensus here, but would note the Mayor of Tower Hamlets putting quotes around "museum" in this story: https://www.londoncitizen.co.uk/2016/06/03/jack-ripper-museum-sign-permission-refused/ --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
