Where else can your group explore the history of crime and punishment, experience driving and shooting simulators, and learn the real CSI procedures?

Described by Good Morning America as a "must see for CSI fans," the National Museum of Crime & Punishment includes a crime lab and the filming studios for America's Most Wanted. A simulated FBI shooting range, high-speed police-chase, and hundreds of interactives and artifacts pertaining to America's favorite subject fill the 3-floor, 25,000 square foot museum.

What do Group Leaders Think?

"The boys absolutely loved your museum! You know how when you take a group of adolescent and early teenage boys into a museum they usually just walk around and just look at the pictures? Well, as we were walking through the museum I would stand back and watch what the boys were doing and you know what they were doing? Every single one of them were actually READING all the exhibits. They were totally enthralled with everything about the museum! It was wonderful to see them so interested in everything there."
-Jan Viol-Thomas, Assistant Scoutmaster, BSA Troop 810, Abingdon, MD

"NMCP is a highly educational experience for students. Students not only learn about the history and science behind America's criminal and penal history but they actually get to participate. The interactives were great and the CSI Lab was extremely engaging!"
-Mark Collins, Social Studies Department Head, Washington DC
