Step into the past to uncover the stories that shape American society as we know it with Witnessing History: The Mob Museum Summer Camp hosted by UNLV’s College of Liberal Arts and The Mob Museum. Through various activities and sessions led by our faculty and staff, students will learn about the important role of museums in building public memory. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the history of organized crime in America through exclusive access to museum artifacts and exhibits at The Mob Museum. This three (3) day summer camp will have students embark on a unique journey to explore the vital role museums play in preserving and shaping our collective understanding of the past.
