Opened in 1995 featuring animatronic figures.This show explained the 1920's and the Capone story from beginning to end.The museum was closed mainly due to the Italian community of Chicago, who was upset at the glorifcation of a criminal.The city and Mayor Daley was quite happy to oblige. Let's pretend he never existed! Yeah right!!

The collection featured in the museum belonged to Michael Graham. He had appeared on the Today show with Al Capone's famous cream white Borsalino. See below.

Advertising for the newly opened Al Capone museum.Funny sign posted outside the museum stated that Florida has a big mouse and, but we have a big rat.

Capone's Chicago. The museum had various gangster era motifs on it's exterior.

One of the main attractions featured in Capone's Chicago was Al's famous hat that he wore on the train enroute to Atlanta.

Sadly, the hat is no longer in Michael Graham's possession. Someone informed me via email that this hat is now somewhere in storage. Michael was a passionate Capone collector who cared about this era. It showed when I visited the Capone museum back in 1995. The collection was impressive. I enjoyed it so much that I went several times during my visit to Chicago.
