The History of the Coroner’s Court

Though the museum was only founded in 1986, the building it occupies dates back to 1932. A designated heritage building, it originally served as the coroner’s courtroom, city morgue, autopsy facility, and forensic lab, where state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge methods were used to investigate crimes. The lab, which shut in 1996, has been left much as it was when it closed, as has the old autopsy room, where original tissue samples can still be seen.
