Science Museum Oklahoma is hosting a lecture that showcases a really cool way that art is used in science and crime-solving.  Patrons will have the opportunity to spend “An Evening with Harvey Pratt” and learn about police forensic art.

Harvey Pratt is the state’s only full-time forensic artist and works for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.  His artistic talent and expertise in human anatomy makes him an asset in solving crimes of every scale.  Pratt has worked on cases such as the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, James “Whitey” Buldger and the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing.

Pratt’s lecture will give a comprehensive look at forensic art and cover skull and soft tissue reconstructions, age progression and witness description drawing.

This FREE lecture will be this Friday, March 26th.  There will be a reception at the Whodunit: The Science of Solving Crimes exhibit from 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm.  Harvey Pratt’s lecture will begin at 7:00 pm.  Please RSVP to communications@sciencemuseumok.org because seating is limited.
