America's Most Wanted Studio
The museum also served as the television studio for America's Most Wanted, a long-running (1988–2013) television series that dramatizes unsolved crimes. The television program has led to the capture of more than 1,000 fugitives (16 from the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives) due to the crime tips that are reported by the public when criminals are profiled. Surrounding the studio are exhibits on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and McGruff the Crime Dog, as well as a Cross Match Technologies station for child finger printing. Due to the series now being shot on location, the studio is now used as an interactive exhibit in which visitors can solve a crime.

Famous quotes containing the word studio:
“The studio people want me to do “Good-bye Charlie” for the movies, but I’m not going to do it. I don’t like the idea of playing a man in a woman’s body—you know? It just doesn’t seem feminine.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
