  • First I must say I am a photographer who has done work for the Mob Museum during special events. Their special events are incredible from panel on all the conspiracy theories that follow JFK to a visiting exhibit of two Thompson "Tommy" Submachine guns that were used in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and by far the best event Repeal Day! Having shot all these great events I never had a chance to actually see the museum. It just so happened my older brother who was in town visiting, so I took him and my 17 year old son and we went to the museum. One of the things I love about the Mob Museum is the staff is so friendly. We picked a busy time to visit so that wasn't great but while waiting for the elevator to take us to the third floor one of the employees regaled us with stories of mobsters. Little tidbits to give us a taste of what is to come. Three floors of information relating to organized crime, you start at the top and work your way down. My suggestion take the elevator up and take the stairs down less traffic. I have been to the museum a dozen times and was surprised I only saw a fraction of what the museum had to offer. Since it was crowded when we went (Thanksgiving Weekend) we had to stand for a few of the movies and wait to interact with a few of the exhibits. But that seemed to work out well as we got to check out all the things on the walls. It took us about three hours to walk through the museum. What wonderful in-depth stories the museum lays out. Connections between the crime families and the law officers trying to take them down was just a piece of the action. The museum also laid out the history of the mafia, how it became to be in the United State. This wasn't something I was familiar with, I mean I knew the names but I never knew how they came to power or what drove them. My brother thought the museum was a Las Vegas based exhibit meaning history that pertained to Las Vegas. He was pleasantly surprised that it involved everything from landing on Ellis Island and life in the slums of New York to the Hollywood connections and all points in-between. I thought it was great so much information. I am not sure we managed to see everything. But that is ok it gives me a reason to go back. My son's response was by far the most sobering out of the three of us.. He said "Dad, I can't believe how violent mobsters were! I mean I know they killed people but wow!" I can't believe it took me so long to go check out this wonderful museum. Anyone who has any interest in Organized Crime this is a MUST SEE!!
