An international true-crime exhibition arrives in Atlanta

Pullman Yards is set to host the U.S. premiere of “Serial Killer: The Exhibition,” an immersive, museum-style presentation that examines documented serial-killer cases through artifacts, reconstructed environments, and forensic and psychological themes. The exhibition opens Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, at the Kirkwood-area venue, located at 225 Rogers Street NE.

Organizers describe the Atlanta engagement as the tour’s American launch and a major expansion of versions previously shown in Europe. The installation at Pullman Yards spans roughly 27,000 square feet and is designed as a self-guided experience lasting about two to two-and-a-half hours.

Scope, structure, and content

The exhibition is organized across dozens of rooms and centers on evidence-based storytelling rather than dramatization. It features more than 2,100 artifacts tied to real cases and investigations, including items associated with widely known offenders such as Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy, along with materials connected to other notorious cases including Ted Bundy and the Zodiac Killer. The presentation also includes reconstructions of crime-scene environments intended to provide context for investigative methods and criminal behavior patterns.

  • Venue footprint: approximately 27,000 square feet
  • Artifacts: more than 2,100 items
  • Format: self-guided, fully accessible
  • Recommended age: 14 and up (younger visitors admitted with adult supervision)

Expanded U.S. section includes Georgia-connected cases

A key addition in the Atlanta edition is a section focused on serial killers across the United States. That material includes cases with Georgia connections—among them Wayne Williams and Howard Belcher in Atlanta, and Gary Bowles in Georgia—positioning the local stop as both a national overview and a regional point of reference.

The exhibition also contains thematic rooms addressing topics such as forensic science and criminal investigation, psychopathy and extreme personality disorders, offenders who acted in pairs, women serial killers, and the ways violent crime has been portrayed in popular culture. Organizers state the aim is to present a documentary approach grounded in historical documentation and expert analysis.

Victim remembrance and ethical framing

Beyond detailing offenders and investigations, the exhibition incorporates memorial elements intended to emphasize that each case involves victims, families, and impacted communities. Displays include victim-focused materials and reflective installations designed to keep the focus on human loss as well as criminal accountability.

The exhibit is recommended for audiences 14 and older and is not presented as entertainment-driven fiction; it is structured as a documentary-style museum experience.

Run dates and what visitors can expect

“Serial Killer: The Exhibition” is scheduled to run in Atlanta through April 2026. After its Pullman Yards engagement, the exhibition is expected to continue touring other U.S. cities as part of a broader national rollout.
