How Bedlam became London's most iconic symbol
Known colloquially as "Bedlam," Bethlem Royal Hospital in England was once a torturous facility that crammed people with mental illness together with violent criminals. Indeed, for hundreds of years, Bedlam was simply a repository for society's "undesirables," and with poor management and even poorer resources, the hospital soon came to define chaos.
Because the hospital relied on donations from patients' families, many of whom did not have the means to pay more than was required of them, Bedlam opened its doors in the 18th century as a sort of sideshow attraction, charging the public for admission as though it were a carnival. Some 96,000 visitors a year came to Bedlam to gawk at the patients. As one travel writer observed in 1725, "Lunatics of every description are shut up. Many inoffensive madmen walk in the big gallery.
The second floor is reserved for dangerous maniacs, most of them being chained and terrible to behold."

From September 1934 to September 1975, the Lab was located on the 6th floor and the attic of the Justice Department Building in Washington, D.C. Public tours of the lab work area were available until the FBI moved across the street to the newly constructed J. Edgar Hoover Building in 1974.
Tours of the J. Edgar Hoover Building were available, but the tour route shifted away from the lab work space, thus sealing the lab from public view. The Lab expanded to such an extent that the Forensic Science Research and Training Center (FSRTC) was established at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Methods at the FSRTC have helped establish standardized forensic practices for law enforcement agencies. The FBI Lab has been in Quantico since the relocation from Washington since April 2003.
