About The Mob Museum

The facade looks institutional because it was: the building once held a post office, a courthouse and federal offices. Today the Mob Museum explores organized crime and the work of fighting it. The old courtroom is a reminder that this story also ran through paperwork and trials.

Take time to read the context and think about whether your kids are ready: some of the content is graphic. Interactive experiences and the bar area have their own access rules. You do not need every add-on to enjoy a solid visit to the exhibits.
