Media Invited to Preview 'CSI: The Experience' at the Museum of Science and Industry on May 24

WHAT: On May 24, media are invited to preview the world premiere of
'CSI: The Experience' at the Museum of Science and Industry in
Chicago. The immersive, interactive forensic science exhibit is
based on the hit CBS show, 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.'

In the exhibit, guests will learn scientific principles and real
investigative techniques as they try to solve one of three crime
scene mysteries using DNA and fingerprint analysis, forensic
anthropology and more. Sleuths will piece together the evidence
in two state-of-the-art labs and then, with input from the
investigators from the TV show, along with real-life forensic
scientists, guests will formulate a hypothesis, validate their
findings and try to crack the case!

'CSI: The Experience' officially opens at the Museum of Science
and Industry on May 25, 2007, and runs through Sept. 3, 2007.
The exhibit was developed by the Fort Worth Museum of Science
and History with support from CBS Consumer Products, the cast
and crew of the television show, and the National Science
Foundation. The exhibit is sponsored locally by Diet Pepsi.
