Why A New Museum?
The Sing Sing Prison Museum will unlock the history of this world-famous institution through exhibits, artifacts and experiences. At the same time, the museum aims to take center stage in the urgent national conversation about criminal justice and incarceration. In illuminating these issues, in telling these stories, Sing Sing Prison Museum will tell us much ourselves.

Historic Significance
Over the past 30 years, historians have begun to study American penal institutions as part of an effort to reconstruct the social history of the United States and to create a more democratic record of our past. They have, in a way, opened the doors of these institutions and shed new light on the relationship between prisons and public attitudes.
