Restored: The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death
After an extensive restoration by the Smithsonian, the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death went on public display for the first time. The response was overwhelming and the show was covered by media from around the world.
Two years ago, MedChi hosted Bruce Goldfarb for a lecture discussing the Nutshells and their importance to forensics and investigation. On Wednesday, April 18, Bruce returns to share what the Smithsonian discovered during the restoration of the Nutshells and to further explain why these 70-year old dioramas are still relevant today.
Bruce Goldfarb is on the administrative staff at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Maryland, where the Nutshell Studies are housed. He worked extensively with the Smithsonian to restore the Nutshells and their subsequent exhibition at the Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC.
Tickets to the lecture are $5.00 for members of MedChi and $8.00 for non-members.
