The Mob Museum - No, this isn't part of Wilson's Assignment

How sweet, The Mob Museum opened on Valentine's Day in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Would Bugsy be proud?

Here are some quick facts:

• Cost $42 million for construction 
• Funded by the city of Las Vegas and nearly $9 million in federal, state and local historic preservation grants. It is run by the 501 (c) 3 non-profit 300 Stewart Avenue Corporation.
• Exhibit Space 17,000 sq.ft (Total space: 41, 000 sq.ft)
• Location: A historic building, once a federal courthouse and Post Office, and the site of hearings into organized crimes in 1950. 

Mission (?) I didn't find anything titled mission, but this was written under "Overview." Maybe the mob doesn't want to reveal to much about the business?

"The Mob Museum, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, is an interactive Museum dedicated to the history of organized crime and law enforcement. The Museum presents a bold and authentic view of organized crime’s impact on Las Vegas history, as well as, its unique imprint on America and the world. The Museum presents the real stories and actual events of mob history via interactive and engaging exhibits that reveal all sides of the story about the role of organized crime in the U.S. The Mob Museum offers multiple perspectives and provides a contemporary, engaging, challenging and educational experience."
