CSI: Crime Scene Insects

This exhibit was on display May 8, 2010, through January 17, 2011

CSI: Crime Scene Insects explored one of the most fascinating areas of criminal investigation – forensic entomology. Through hands-on learning stations, examples of real field and lab equipment and intriguing case studies, this exhibit traced the origins of forensic entomology from the 13th century and examined the effective use of insects in crime solving.
