Okay, so who hasn’t wondered what it would be like to be on CSI?
From the Vancouver Police Museum Website:
You’ve asked for it, and we’ve (finally) delivered!
We are proud to announce our first forensics-themed workshop specifically for adults; our first topic will be forensic pathology, or the study of the causes of death. We will be offering two workshops each Tuesday evening, no matter which workshop you register for, you’ll be able to visit the museum for 30 minutes before and after your session.
- Forensic Pathology – August 26th at 6:30pm or at 8:00pm
- Blood Spatter – August 24th at 6:30pm or 8:00pm
- Ballistics – August 12th at 6:30pm or at 8:00pm
- Material Evidence – August 10th at 6:30pm or at 8:00pm
- Fingerprints – August 17th at 6:30pm or at 8:00pm
Seemed fitting to start with pathology, since the Vancouver Police Museum is housed in a building that was once the city morgue and autopsy facility (almost 15,000 autopsies were performed here). We also have an impressive collection of tools from that time, from head clamps to bone saws. This workshop will get up-close-and-personal with these tools, while discussing the process of an autopsy and associated investigation, from crime scene to funeral home.
(Additional workshops may be announced if these ones are successful…)
Also, please note that tickets will not be available by phone or in-person; we will only be selling tickets online. (Where you’ll also find more information about each session and its contents.)
Really, why should the kids have all the fun?
