Las Vegas is now home to the
Mob Museum.
The cultural ode to organized crime opened its doors on February 14,
marking the 83rd anniversary of Chicago’s St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
Gang wars erupted in the Illinois state in 1929, leading to the murder
of seven mob associates. Now you can learn about it all, up close and
personal in Sin City — a place with its own history of mob ties.
Exhibits include a revolver found at the site of the famous massacre and
the barber chair, in which 1950′s mobster Albert Anastasia was
assassinated. In order to keep things accurate, the museum staffs former
FBI agents, former police officers, historians, and other experts.
The Mob Museum isn’t the only offbeat institution, of course. We’ve
found a few other bizarrely fascinating museums around the world that
easily rival it. Find out what other exhibition spaces we raised our
eyebrows at past the break. Tell us the places you’ve been to below.
