Sherlock Holmes is one of the most beloved literary figures in the world and a major pop culture figure, thanks to popular films and TV series featuring the super sleuth. This spring, the Perot Museum shows it visitors how Holmes used science and observation to solve his cases. His approach to criminology helped usher in a new era of police investigation that looked to physical evidence and chemistry to solve crimes.
Guests to the International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes will be taken back to Victorian London, where they will search for clues and find suspects using the same techniques and methods developed by Holmes and his faithful assistant Dr. John Watson. The installation includes a spectacular array of period artifacts, original manuscripts and publications, all on the subject of Sherlock Holmes.
The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes is currently at the Perot Museum in Dallas. Admission is free to museum members with a small surcharge. For more details on the exhibition, contact the museum at 214-428-5555.
