The Crime Museum in Washington D.C. is opening a new exhibit that will feature items from the Boston Marathon bombing. The new exhibit, “Domestic Terrorism and Hate Crimes,” is slated to kick off on Wednesday, March 18.

According to the museum, co-authors of the New York Times best seller Boston Strong, Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge will be on-hand come opening day to discuss that fateful Marathon Monday (April 15, 2013).

A Boston Strong film adaptation is currently in the works.

It’s unclear what specific items will be put on display but the museum is promising “a runner’s medal, bib, and personal items.”

Other notable artifacts to be displayed include:

• A rifle confiscated from the Virginia Jihad Network in 2003, after their failed attempt to train assassins at the Paintball War Games facility in Spotsylvania, VA
• Unabomber letters
• World Trade Center rubble and other 9/11 artifacts
• The bust recreation of prisoner Vinson Harris, who was suffocated and killed by prison security guards in 1986, while serving a 20-year sentence for bank robbery. The bust was used at the trial to visually illustrate to the court how Harris had been suffocated with elastic bandages and duct tape.

In the wake of the two pressure cooker bombs that rocked Boylston Street, residents rallied to create a makeshift memorial of sentimental items and heartfelt messages to commemorate the lives of Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu and Krystle Campbell, who were all killed in the blast; the 264 others who sustained injuries and MIT Police Officer Sean Collier who was fatally shot by the suspects three days later.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of two brothers facing trial for the bombings (his older brother Tamerlan died after engaging police in a firefight just prior to capture) is charged with 30 counts for his participation of which 17 carry the weight of death.

During opening statements of the trial, Tsarnaev’s attorney admitted his involvement.
