WILLIAMSBURG — Help solve a murder mystery in Colonial Williamsburg this week.

“Museum Murder Mystery: Curse of the Witch Bottle” is one of the latest events at the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg, 301 S Nassau St.

The program’s synopsis on the Colonial Williamsburg site reads, “Just before a scheduled press conference to announce the recent discovery of a suspected “witch bottle” found near Williamsburg, a British expert is found murdered in the museum. Did a Williamsburg colleague kill her, or was it a curse from the bottle itself? With the help of crime scene clues and expert and suspect interviews, join the team to solve a fictitious murder.”

The 90-minute show runs June 16, 23 and 30 at 4 p.m. 

Tickets for the show are $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 12 and younger, along with museum admission. 

The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg offer live theatre and programs daily for families throughout the month of June. Guests with Good Neighbors Passes, Annual Membership or day passes will have admission into the museum.
