February 1 - April 30, 2008
You've seen the hit television crime drama, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on CBS. Now, there’s a forensic science exhibition related to the TV show that lets YOU be the expert. On February 1, the Houston Museum of Natural Science will proudly unveil CSI: The Experience, an immersive, interactive forensic science exhibition that invites people to use real science to solve hypothetical crimes in an exciting multimedia environment.
Imagine entering a crime scene and being responsible for noticing and collecting every trace of evidence. The pressure is on—you know the analysis of the evidence must be scientifically sound to crack the case.
The exhibition invites you to enter “crime” scenes to identify and record evidence. You are then taken inside “laboratories” for scientific testing and into “autopsy” rooms for pathology analysis. Finally it returns you to the “office” to build your case based on the scientific evidence.
From DNA and firearms analysis to forensic anthropology and toxicology, you will be immersed in hands-on science in an exciting multimedia environment with dazzling special effects direct from the CSI TV series. This hands-on exhibition brings to life fundamental scientific principles, numerous scientific disciplines, and the most advanced technology and techniques used today by crime scene investigators and forensic scientists, so you can understand the significance of each in cracking crimes.
Cast members from the TV show welcome guests into the exhibition from a large video monitor, lead them through the experience, and praise them for a job well done at the end. Can you crack the case? Find out at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
CSI: The Experience was developed by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History with support from CBS Consumer Products, the cast and crew of the television show, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and the National Science Foundation.
