Brilliant Holmes: Arthur Conan Doyle's 150th Birthday

Sherlock Holmes
WEDNESDAY: Today would be Arthur Conan Doyle's 150th birthday and, in celebration, the Smithsonian is hosting a lecture and performance in honor of his greatest literary creation — and fiction's finest sleuth — Sherlock Holmes. Mystery writer Daniel Stashower and actor Scott Sedar collaborate to bring you inside Doyle's world and into Holmes' adventures. Extra points if you wear a deerstalker hat.

» Ripley Center, 1100 Jefferson Drive SW; Wed., June 17, 6:45 p.m., $45; 202-633-3030. (Smithsonian)
