We tend to make assumptions before we know all the facts. We form a hypothesis in our minds and then seek facts that will support our hypothesis.
Sherlock Holmes would never do this!
I'm not sure if it's the distant and arrogant (yet swoon-y) demeanor of Benedict Cumberbatch, my love of all things reasonable, or my insatiable hunger for mystery that has recently caused me to take great interest in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but I simply can't get enough of it.
The
St. Louis Science Center is currently hosting the
International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes, and I have been desperately seeking an opportunity to go. That happened today!
This is a well crafted exhibition, allowing us to fully participate in solving the crime. First, our powers of observation were tested in a small room, as we searched for articles amidst Sherlock Holmes possessions. Then, we learned about several different aspects of detective work, like ballistics, etc, to help us along the way. After examining the murder room (and taking copious notes) we performed a series of tests to confirm our findings.
Though the cost is steep, this is definitely worth the price of admission. Andy and I both agreed that it was a super fun way to spend the afternoon. Don't miss out! The game is afoot!
Here are some pictures from our adventure!
