It is the only museum of its kind in the world, the American Police Museum. It is very easy to recognize this building – there is literally a car glued to one of the facades of the building. And no, you did not misunderstand. American Police Hall of Fame and Museum was founded in 1960 and here you can trace the history of police development in America from the 17th century to the present day.
The museum offers a huge exposition with more than 11 thousand items. Uniforms and weapons, badges and unusual vehicles are not the whole list. The museum boasts unique objects such as a gas chamber, an electric chair and a guillotine. In addition to the fact that many of these objects can be photographed, the museum offers you to become a detective or a criminal by taking part in an interactive game.
Be sure to read the signs next to the exhibits, because some of them can tell you a story that would make even the most veteran screenwriter dizzy.
