This installation at the Museum of London offers an enigmatic representation of the mind of Sherlock Holmes. It comprises brightly coloured doorway structures, each one sporting a different iteration of the famous front door at 221B Baker Street. Each structure is dressed in clues and illustrations, which act as a visual and coded depiction of a Sherlock case. Visitors are invited to don their metaphorical deerstalker and work out the coded distillation of each story. Cryptic symbols and motifs within the screen printed floors contain hidden clues about a theme, character or object so that so that the name of each story can be deciphered.
