The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Deaths

Yesterday, we went to see this exhibit at the Renwick Museum. They are miniature scenes created by Frances Glessner Lee. She created crime scenes in miniature to instruct police on crime investigation. They are still used and housed in Baltimore but the Renwick has them on display. Ms. Lee took a great deal of care to be accurate. They were based on real crimes that took place in the 1940's. I was amazed at the wall paper and the tiny furnishings. They seemed so authentic to the times. The crimes portrayed are not meant to be solved, it is for observation and deduction.
