Crime and Punishment Museum DC

On this blog we like to introduce and discuss some of our favorite spots in the DC area and recently I took advantage of a Groupon deal and visited the Crime & Punishment Museum for the first time. And trust me when I say this is one of the most exciting museums with well structured and interesting exhibits.

Normally a trip to Crime & Punishment can cost you about $20.00 at the door and slightly cheaper if your purchase tickets ahead of time online, but Groupon has done more that one special with tickets at $10.00 a piece. Now with all of the free museums DC has to offer some of you may be against paying to visit a museum,but these exhibits are well worth it and you don't even need a guided tour which can cost you about $5.00 extra.

Crime and Punishment offers a variety of exhibits including; Bonnie & Clyde, Jewish Gangsters and interactive exhibits like punishment: the consequence of crime and crime scene investigation. You will also be enlightened by the history of crime and punishment and stories and updates from headlining cases throughout US History. Learn about every serial kill from John Wayne Gacy (the clown that killed) to Cho Seung-Hui (VA Tech gunman) Each story includes all past information and updated findings. You will also be able to view the FBI's 10 most wanted list with updates.

For anyone that enjoys Dexter, CSI, NCIS, Bones, Law & Order, Amercia's Most Wanted, Good Fellas, Public Enemies or any form of entertainment involving either crime or law enforcement will enjoy the several interactive exhibits which put you in the role of law, order, or outlaw. You leave this museum with a greater knowledge of law, crime, order and punishment. To really get the full enjoyment of this museum you should make it a day trip and don't rush through the exhibits. This will be worth the $20 charge, but keep your eyes open for another Groupon or Living Social Deal.
