The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death began as a collection of dollhouse dioramas painstakingly re-creating grisly unsolved crime scenes. The houses were created by Frances Glessner Lee, an heiress and forensics trailblazer who went on to found Harvard's department of legal medicine. Housed in Baltimore, these pieces have heavily influenced forensic science as we know it and are still used in lectures to this day.
Photographer Corinne May Botz created a photo collection of these houses in her book of the same name. She will be giving a lecture 7 pm tonight at New York's International Center of Photography.
Can't make the trip? Well that's why we love the internetz! The talk will be presented live online here.
