Explore the intersection of art & forensic science with Smithsonian American Art Museum conservator; followed by refreshments and live music.
Exquisitely detailed miniature crime scenes designed 70 years ago to “convict the guilty, clear the innocent, and find the truth in a nutshell” are still used to train today’s homicide investigators. Smithsonian conservator Ariel O’Connor will discuss the Nutshell Studies’ history and the fascinating parallels between art conservation and forensic science.
