The Mob Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the public understanding of organized crime’s history and impact on American society. From vintage Las Vegas to the back alleys of American cities and across the borders and networks of the entire world, the museum offers an authentic and interactive way of learning more about organized crime, the one-of-a-kind Mob, and law enforcement agencies.

The Mob Museum’s exhibits provide plenty of opportunities to step into the shoes of law enforcement officers and understand some of what they go through via digital and live role-playing scenarios. One example is the Firearm Training Simulator which places guests in real-to-life situations where they are exposed to the types of training exercises officers must undergo to be prepared to make use-of-force decisions. Another example is the Crime Lab Experience in which guests gain insight as to what it is like working as a crime scene investigator by finding and analyzing forensic evidence.

In addition to the unique and eye-opening interactive exhibits are many other galleries, artifacts, maps, and stories about infamous mobsters and significant events in history. These exhibits offer a great opportunity for filmmakers to capture footage that can be used in documentaries or other productions.
