- Starting with the Museum’s historic postal boxes in the building’s lobby, make your way up to the third floor, where you’ll learn about the rise of organized crime, the history of Prohibition and the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, which took place in the north side of Chicago with seven members of George “Bugs” Moran’s bootlegging gang.
I love this place. Every time I visit Vegas I see the Mob Museum, the Neon Museum, then have dinner at Herbs and Rye. It's one of my Vegas traditions.
This is so awesome. I cannot wait to come here on my next Vegas trip.
My mom was a cradle baby from Chicago back in 1940's, it was a closed adoption and never knew her parents or names at all.
My mom got a dna test recently and we learned her father was a Cleveland gangster named Albert Peter Lauerhass.
This is my grandfather and now am trying to compile information from as many sources possible. I found many articles from newspapers about him but we only have 2 pictures. I know the fbi was investigating him for years, was thinking about making a freedom of information request from them and Cleveland police department.
I was hoping you could give me some helpful information or give me some tips to find out more information about him. One of his main accomplices was Joseph M. Horay. Albert's brother, was chief of homicide in Cleveland police for 20 years, during the 60s 70's and 80's
Thank you! Looking forward to more!
Definitely want to visit from the U.K.
6:37 I love how she put on a hat for this one!
Would love to visit the Mob Museum
The guy who ran the tour with the brick wall adding fake blood was super tacky. What a shmuck.
boooooo why do we have to do this for school
So the wall is not the actual wall from the mob killing, its a replica.
Hi there! This artifact on display is, in fact, a large section of the brick wall against which the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre victims stood. In 1967, the wall was torn down, and a Vancouver businessman named George Patey bought the bricks, some of which had divots from bullets fired during the Massacre. Over the next 42 years, the bricks were featured in a traveling exhibit, housed in a short-lived crime museum and displayed in a nightclub restroom. They finally found a permanent home at The Mob Museum.
From their first sale in 1967 the bricks were lettered and numbered, allowing The Mob Museum to assemble and display the wall in a manner very close to the original.
@@TheMobMuseum ahh great wasn't sure in how it was described. Looking forward to checking it out. When I get back there.
