Happy Art Appreciation Day! 🎨

View the artistic talents of officers from across the country!

Officers as Artists: The Creative Expression of Those Who Serve showcased officers’ creativity and artistic talents in our first ever art exhibit. The exhibit highlights how art has been an integral part of who they are as individuals who also happen to be officers or, for some, how art has been instrumental for them as they navigate a complex profession, critical relationships, and process traumatic experiences they have endured head-on.

On this day in 2002, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, perpetrators of the D.C. Sniper attacks that claimed the lives of 17 and injured 10 others, were spotted at a rest stop and ultimately arrested. The snipers left behind a cryptic trail of clues that eventually led investigators to a dark blue Chevy Caprice that had been turned into a mobile sniper's den.

The Museum acquired much of the investigative files following the conclusion of the case, many of which, including the Chevy Caprice, have been used to create a DC Sniper temporary exhibit titled "Without Warning: Ending the Terror of the DC Snipers." Visitors have the chance to explore the timeline of this case with an inside look at real evidence from the investigation.
