Forensic Science Academy Club Field Trip






The Forensic Science Academy Club had a meeting during 12:00PM to 4:00PM at Hollywood's Museum of Death! Greeted by the president of the FSA with open arms, I was presented by familiar faces of the previous  club meeting and with newcomers who have been interested in joining the Forensic Science Academy Class #27.

To my dismay, I was unable to take further pictures of the Museum of Death since the owners did not want photography of any kind inside. However, it was a very enjoyable experience inside.

There were a variety of themed rooms that contained archived files of serial killers, pop art and highly detailed and professional dedicated art for the museum based on the criminals. Nothing was censored in this museum, every body part was shown! To my excitement, there was a room dedicated to skeletal remains, including a variety of various animal skulls that were being compared with that of a humans.

As you continue to view the museum, you start to develop a sense of sickness of how disgusting people can be in order to commit these crimes to these innocent people. Visual representations such as videos were played in almost every room such as assassinations, forensic pathological instructional, and news footage of the serial killers being trialed.

What I thought was the most important and most fascinating part of the museum was the evidence! The tools that were used during these murders as well as photographs that showed these gruesome details were shown throughout the entire museum!

In the last room, were historical figures such as John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe who had autopsy photographs presented to use showing their innings and brain matter all over the table. We had a great time bonding together and sharing our personal stories of what we know about the cases, murders, and other nifty information that we wanted to share with the group. It was a very interesting experience someone like myself, who is interested in the forensic field to experience!
