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.

Who We Are
The proposed museum will display the Sing Sing story as unfolds over time, helping visitors connect a relatively unfamiliar element of American history to the more commonly known succession of American events and ideas.
