Ready For ‘CSI:Chicago’?

The Windy City is preparing for the arrival of CSI in a few months. Not the small screen version though. May 25, 2007 will mark the opening of the The CSI:Experience exhibit that will tour science museums across the nation, starting with Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.

Visitors to the CSI exhibit will get to fully experience the work of a CSI. They’ll start by gathering evidence from a mock crime scene, then run tests on it in lab and autopsy rooms. Pre-recorded video messages from the stars of all three CSI shows will guide them through the process. They will also be treated to special effects similar to those used on the shows.

CSI creator Anthony Zuiker was involved in the creation of the exhibit, which is funded by a partnership of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Technology, CBS Consumer Products and the National Science Foundation.

After spending the summer in Chicago, the exhibit will embark on a national tour of science museums in September. It is expected to continue touring for up to seven years.
