The Mob Museum, The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, today announces the opening of The Underground, its new Prohibition history exhibition featuring a working distillery and speakeasy. Zappos.com serves as The Underground\u2019s signature sponsor.<\/p>\n
Entirely re-envisioning the typical museum exhibition experience, The Underground takes visitors on an uncommonly vivid journey back in time: Situated discreetly in the basement of the Museum, The Underground encompasses 2,814 square feet appointed with luxurious, Art Deco design motifs. Guests of The Underground are encouraged to ponder the time when consuming alcohol was not only a criminal act, but also bred secret watering holes\u2013some of which became the most glamorous places to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are extremely proud of this addition to the Museum, which was developed to tell the story of this pivotal period of American history in the most dynamic way possible,\u201d said Jonathan Ullman, president and chief executive officer, The Mob Museum. \u201cTo our many supporters whose contributions made The Underground possible, we extend enormous gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n
