Science Museum Oklahoma is celebrating the unveiling of not just one, but two, blockbuster exhibits! Sherlock Holmes – The Exhibition and The Worst-Case Scenario: An Ultimate Survival Experience have traveled the country and landed in Oklahoma City through September 6.

Sherlock Holmes – The Exhibition

Footprints, splatter patterns and the powers of observation mark the journey through Sherlock Holmes – The Exhibition. The interactive experience combines science with history and culture to bring to life the historic underpinnings of author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s rich and vibrant stories.

Museum guests will learn how Sherlock Holmes, a scientific expert ahead of his time, used seemingly trivial observations of clues others missed to solve some of his era’s most mysterious crimes. His practices and techniques, created in the mind of doctor-turned-author Conan Doyle, changed the way police work was conducted and remain in practice today.

Sherlock Holmes – The Exhibition features original manuscripts and period artifacts, investigative tools influenced and used by Sherlock Holmes, and interactive crime-solving opportunities. Guests will be transported into Sherlock Holmes’ London to solve a crime.

The Worst-Case Scenario: An Ultimate Survival Experience

Learning to survive has never been this fun! Guests can put their skills to the test as they learn different ways to handle challenging situations. The Worst-Case Scenario: An Ultimate Survival Experience is a full-body physical and minds-on exhibition providing the essential instructions for everything people need to know when encountering the unexpected. 

In addition to the physical aspects of the exhibition, guests will learn about the science behind the seven steps of survival and learn the stories of real-life heroes and survivors. After leaving The Worst-Case Scenario: An Ultimate Survival Experience guests will know the three key aspects of survival in any situation: Be prepared. Don’t panic. Have a plan.

Tickets are on sale now. Due to limited capacity, advance tickets are highly recommended and may be purchased at ScienceMuseumOK.org or by calling 405-602-3760.
