DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 185 Years of “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” a
 nd the Invention of the Detective  \n\n\n\nBefore Sherlock Holmes\, Hercu
 le Poirot\, Nancy Drew\, Columbo\, Scooby-Doo\, and every brilliant invest
 igator who ever faced an impossible case\, there was C. Auguste Dupin. Fir
 st introduced in Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” i
 n 1841\, Dupin became literature’s first detective\, and Poe’s tale be
 came the first great locked-room mystery: a brutal crime\, a baffled polic
 e force\, and one strange genius able to see what everyone else had missed
 . \n\n\n\nPoe did more than invent the detective. Across “The Murders in
  the Rue Morgue\,” “The Mystery of Marie Rogêt\,” “The Purloined 
 Letter\,” “The Gold-Bug\,” and “Thou Art the Man\,” he helped cr
 eate the machinery of modern mystery: the eccentric investigator\, the loy
 al narrator\, the clue hidden in plain sight\, the puzzle solved through r
 eason\, the cryptogram\, the false trail\, and the final revelation. \n\n\
 n\nPoe Baltimore\, The Poe Museum (Richmond\,) Enoch Pratt Free Library\
 , and the NSA’s National Cryptologic Museum present a new exhibit cele
 brating Poe’s invention of the detective and his lasting influence on my
 stery\, crime-solving\, codebreaking\, and popular culture. Led by The Poe
  Museum\, the exhibit brings together first printings\, rare artifacts\, i
 nterpretive panels\, and interactive experiences that invite visitors to f
 ollow Poe’s clues across the stories that launched a genre. \n\n\n\nExpl
 ore the puzzle of the Rue Morgue. Search for the stolen letter. Crack the 
 cryptogram of “The Gold-Bug.” Then test your own powers of ratiocinati
 on as you try the methods Poe made famous and solve mysteries of your own.
  \n\n\n\nFrom the birth of detective fiction to the science of secret mess
 ages\, every clue leads back to Poe. \n\n\n\nExhibits presented by Poe Ba
 ltimore and The Poe Museum (Richmond\,) in cooperation with Enoch Pratt
  Free Library. Special thanks to additional partners\, including Westmins
 ter Preservation Trust\, Dr. Mimi Manyin\, The Maryland Zoo\, Jason Stru
 tz Illustration\, and The Baltimore Camera Club.  \n\n\n\nRegularTour ad
 mission: $20pp weekends\, $10 weekdays or included with purchase of Red M
 asque Festival Pass (plus additional programming festival weekend.) \n\n\
 n\nDiscussion panels and other Westminster Hall events are included with t
 icket to the exhibit inside Westminster Hall. Catacombs are NOT included w
 ith ticket. Schedule TBA and posted below\, September 1!
