Tuesday morning, the director of the museum is discovered dead in his office. What happened? Experts from the Forensic Science services have arrived at the crime scene. They found a lot of clues: a cartridge, traces of blood, textile fibres, fingerprints ... You, too, can look at the crime scene. Pay a visit to the laboratory where these clues are analysed and link them to the perpetrator(s). Next watch the suspects being questioned. Can you manage to discover the murderer(s)?

A ludic exhibition on the techniques used by criminologists when solving a crime.
