The Murder in the Museum is a 1934 American film directed by Melville Shyer. The film is also known as The Five Deadly Vices (American reissue title).
A city councilman is murdered while investigating allegations of drug dealing going on at a disreputable sideshow. The daughter of the chief suspect then teams up with a newspaper reporter to find the real killer.
Footage of a belly dancer shot for the film was reused in the 1943 film Confessions of a Vice Baron.
