Some Tiny Crimes of the Heart

Visitors examine "Three-Room Dwelling," a miniature crime scene exhibited at "Murder is Her Hobby," at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, Jan. 6, 2018. Created in the 1940s and ’50s as training tools for police investigators, Frances Glessner Lee’s dioramas are ingenious instructional tools and fine works of art in their own right. (Justin T.
