New York City Police Museum
Until its Hurricane Sandy-damaged landmark location at 100 Old Slip reopens sometime
in 2015, this tribute to 'New York's Finest' will remain on Wall St. Exhibitions span both
past and present aspects of city crime fighting, from the mug shots and weapons of notori-
ous New York mobsters, to historic NYPD uniforms, to rare photographic images docu-
menting the September 11 terrorist attacks. Check the website for updates on the mu-
seum's move back to its permanent address.
