“Sinister blood splatters, concealed clues and murder most foul are just part of the fun at The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes” —The New York Times
The international and multi-generational visibility of Sherlock Holmes has inspired scientists and investigators for over a century. The exhibition inspires scientific exploration through artifacts, interactive experimentation and highly immersive environments bringing guests into the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his characters. Using real tools still employed by investigators today, the guests evaluate evidence and help bring clarity to a mystery.
The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes touring since 2013 through the leading science museums in North America, is populated with hundreds of artifacts and dozens of interactives engaging fans and the curious alike.
Artists and scientists have been inspired by the stories of Sherlock Holmes, the exhibitions bring homage not only to the creator but also to those who followed, including bringing the objects of recent films to the exhibition with props and costumes from the most popular recent shows: Warner Bros. films starring Robert Downey Jr, and Jude Law, the CBS television show Elementary with Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller, and the BBC television show Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freemen.
