Frances Glessner Lee (1878-1962) crafted her Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death to train homicide investigators to “convict the guilty, clear the innocent, and find the truth in a nutshell.” These dioramas of true crime cases revolutionized homicide investigation and are still used for training. Panelists will discuss Glessner Lee’s life and work and the process of conserving and curating the Nutshells for display at the Renwick Gallery in 2017. Light refreshments follow.

Where can you find a piece of the Berlin Wall, a cannon ball mounted on a Conestoga wagon hitch, and over a hundred lions looking down at you from the tops of Baltimore's buildings? On our Downtown Landmarks and Lions tour, of course! In this leisurely stroll—we cover a little over a mile in a little over an hour—you’ll see and hear the highlights of downtown Baltimore’s history and architecture. Best of all, you'll discover where all the noble lions, hellish fiends, and neo-Egyptian sphinxes are hiding—the trick is in looking up!
