Description

The exhibition focused on the development of forensic science, law and police interrogation in Estonia in the 20th century by using two examples from real-life cases: a murder investigation from the 1930s and a robbery in the 1950s. The exhibition was inspired by the popularity of crime and forensic television programs, and the aim was to showcase the reality criminal investigators face.
The exhibition was nominated for the ‘Best Temporary Exhibition’ at the 2019 Estonian Annual Museum Awards.
