Another good example I have seen is in the movie: The Silence of the Lambs.
"Buffalo Bill" serial killer in the movie inserted a cocoon in one of the
victims throat. The cocoon was later identified by entomologist working at a
museum that it belonged to a moth species found only in Asia. The moth
import record was one of the clues that helped the police to track down
"Buffalo Bill".

Subject: Re: novels and films set in museums

I'm teaching an "Introduction to Museum Studies" course next year.  I plan
to examine popular images of museums by having students read novels and/or
watch films that are about, or set in, museums.  Any suggested titles?

Thanks!
