World’s largest serial killer artifact exhibition opens U.S. debut run at Atlanta’s Pullman Yards

A traveling true-crime exhibition arrives in Atlanta after runs in major European cities
Atlanta is the first U.S. stop for “Serial Killer: The Exhibition,” a touring show that opened at Pullman Yards on Feb. 7, 2026, after previous engagements in Berlin, London and Paris. Organizers describe the Atlanta presentation as the largest edition produced to date, built as a self-guided experience designed to take roughly two to two-and-a-half hours.
The exhibition occupies a large footprint inside Pullman Yards and presents what it calls the world’s largest collection of original artifacts connected to serial homicide cases. The show’s materials span multiple countries and historical periods, and are presented alongside interpretive text, reconstructed environments and multimedia elements intended to frame the crimes within broader questions about motive, behavior and investigation.
What visitors will see: artifacts, reconstructions and case-based interpretation
Organizers say the Atlanta edition includes more than 2,100 original items tied to approximately 150 individuals commonly categorized as serial killers, drawn from about 25 countries. Display items include case-related personal effects and tools associated with investigations, as well as recreations of spaces intended to contextualize particular crimes.
- Artifacts attributed to cases involving Jeffrey Dahmer, including eyeglasses displayed as a featured item.
- Items tied to Ted Bundy, including a dental mold presented as evidence-related material.
- Case objects associated with Bob Berdella, including a bone saw displayed among the evidence-focused exhibits.
- A room centered on John Wayne Gacy that includes a replica kitchen environment with a staged crawl-space element.
The exhibit’s curatorial approach is presented as documentary and museum-oriented, with interpretive framing that organizers say is intended to avoid glamorizing perpetrators. The show also includes sections organized by geography, including material focused on serial homicide in parts of the United States, including the South.
Local sensitivity: Atlanta Child Murders material is not included
While the exhibition includes cases with U.S. and regional relevance, it does not display artifacts related to the Atlanta Child Murders. The omission reflects the continued sensitivity surrounding that period in Atlanta’s history and the impact on victims’ families and communities.
Dates, hours, and age guidance
The Atlanta engagement is listed as running from Feb. 7 through April 30, 2026, with public hours commonly posted at 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets have been advertised starting at $35 and up, with scheduling offered by timed entry. The exhibition is recommended for ages 14 and older, with younger attendees admitted only under adult supervision, and the venue is described as accessible under ADA guidelines.
Editor’s note: The exhibition includes graphic subject matter and reconstructed environments that some visitors may find disturbing.
