"CSI: The Experience" will debut Friday at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The $2 million exhibit will allow visitors to walk through one of three simulated crime scenes, collect data, and attempt to solve a mystery. The 6,000 square foot space was created by five separate teams of designers.
Among them was Dr. Arthur Eisenberg, professor of pathology at the University of North Texas Health Science Center and director of its DNA Identity Lab. Eisenberg acted as a consultant and helped bring his experience – and as a result realism - to the exhibit.
Applied Biosystems donated more than $150,000 in DNA instrumentation and systems equipment, allowing visitors to get a close-up look at the tools experts use on a daily basis.
Choose an audio track, below, to hear Dr. Eisenberg and Lisa Schade, Senior Manager of Global Marketing for Applied Biosystems Human Identification Business, discuss their respective roles in 'CSI: The Experience.'
Visitors to the exhibit will be able to:
- Match shell casings in a firearms lab
- Hear from a forensic pathologist in a realistic autopsy room
- See a victim's blood tested in the toxicology lab
- Learn about the advances in DNA profiling
- Examine the role human judgment plays with the advancement in technology
"CSI: The Experience" will be at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago from May 25 through Sept. 3, and will then travel to the Museum of Science in Boston where it will open on Sept. 30.
