Museum a Film Location for the Investigation Discovery Channel A September day found the Museum a busy film set from early morning until 7 pm. The film crew and actors spent the day filming a Crime Drama for the Investigation Dis- covery Channel, selecting the courtroom, boiler room, 2nd floor, and jail cell as locations. Most of the morning was spent interrogating suspects in the basement space known as the former boiler room. An amazing transition took place on the 2nd floor, as this room was used throughout day as the detective squad bullpen. At one point two film crews were filming simul- taneously — on the 2nd floor, and with the trial scene being conducted in the Museum’s courtroom. Did You Miss These Museum Events ?
