Curatorial Commentary
Actor Rex Linn visited The Sixth Floor Museum in 2007 as a special guest speaker at the Museum's inaugural family activity fair, CSI Family Day, a hands-on opportunity to learn more about the process of crime scene investigation. CSI Family Day was a popular annual event at the Museum for eleven years, traditionally featuring elaborate faux crime scenes and evidence stations that allowed families to "solve" a crime using real CSI techniques. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
