“I think certainly it’s going to feed your curiosity,” said Mob Museum President and CEO Jonathan Ullman in an interview. “If you’re familiar with the Mob Museum, you’re going to want to go inside and see what we’re offering in the store. If you’re really not familiar, it’s going to catch your eye. And once you enter, you’re going to get drawn to the exhibits and the graphics in there and some of the interactivity.”

While browsing destination-inspired souvenirs that include branded apparel, mugs, books and magnets, guests will get a preview of The Mob Museum’s signature storytelling and perspective on organized crime’s past and present. Visitors will be able to see the museum’s exhibits through artifact displays featuring objects from both sides of the law, including from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Gangster Squad, mob-era Las Vegas and the infamous Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. Visitors can also immerse themselves in “the life” by taking the oath of a “made man” and snapping their own mugshot in a police lineup.

“We wanted to make certain that we had some level of experience and interactivity and that visitors get a taste of what the museum is all about,” Ullman said. “Visitors will get the opportunity to encounter important history topics that we cover, some of the items on display, something that they’ve never been to the museum, and make them want to visit and learn more.”
