In a Nutshell

Museum stays open on Saint Patrick’s Day Eve for interactive activities such as prison-tattoo application and blood-spatter-analysis lessons

The Fine Print

The first crime-and-punishment museum was an actual penitentiary, hosting tours that gave guests an up-close look at a prisoner’s life, which often included hard labor, matching jumpsuits, and horrific tour-giving duties. Explore justice in a friendlier environ with this Groupon.

$22 for St. Patty's After Hours @ Crime Museum Event ($44 Value)

On the eve of Saint Patrick’s Day, The National Museum of Crime and Punishment keeps the cellblock open for a fun, interactive, and educational After Hours event. At stations set up throughout the museum, visitors can receive prison tattoos, learn how to analyze blood spatters, and hear about Saint Patrick being kidnapped and sold into slavery. Participants are encouraged to wear green and comfortable shoes. On Saturday, March 16, choose from entrance times at 7 p.m., 7:30 p.m., 8 p.m., 8:30 p.m., 9 p.m., or 9:30 p.m.

Prohibition After Hours

Adventurers explore the Roaring Twenties at a time when the museum's doors regularly would be shut tight. Museum-goers wander through an interactive series of exhibits that focus on Prohibition and the history of crime in general, and like apprehended bootleggers and serial jaywalkers, visitors can ink themselves with temporary prison tattoos and decide on a last meal, before springing themselves from the joint to analyze blood splatter like modern forensics experts. Interactive demonstrations in forensic science help museum-goers learn the stories that blood spatters tell before an exploration of prison tattoos shed light on the social orders in the pen.
