An international true crime exhibition is making its Australian debut in Perth this summer, inviting visitors to explore some of history’s most notorious criminal cases.

Opening at the Northbridge Centre on 17 December 2026, Mind of a Serial Killer: The Experience takes visitors through more than 20 immersive rooms, exploring the fascinating world of criminal psychology, forensic science and the investigative techniques used to solve complex crimes.

The exhibition examines 16 infamous offenders, including Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy, through historical documents, interviews, case files and reconstructed crime scenes. In a world-first, the Perth exhibition will also feature a dedicated room examining the Australian Ivan Milat case.

Visitors can step inside a recreated investigation office, explore psychological profiles and even take part in a virtual reality experience where they’ll collect evidence at a simulated crime scene. There’s also a gallery exploring how real-life criminal cases have influenced popular books, films and television.

Having already attracted 500,000 visitors across cities including New York, Montreal and Dublin, the exhibition offers a fascinating look at how criminal investigations have evolved and the science behind bringing offenders to justice.
