The Museum of London Docklands is preparing for a somewhat macabre exhibition entitled Executions [in London]. Slated to begin in autumn, the executions in London exhibits will feature some of the museum’s grislier possessions. The prize exhibit is a 300-year-old bedsheet embroidered with human hair, likely from an axed severed head! The famous sheet bears the inscription, “The sheet OFF MY dear dear Lord's Bed in the wretched Tower of London February 1716 x Ann C of Darwent=Waters+,” which has been embroidered at the bottom of the sheet in human hair. The sheet is also intricately decorated with flowers, leaves and a large heart-shaped wreath, according to the Museum of London website.
