About the Chicago 00 Project’s St. Valentine’s Day Massacre virtual reality experience app
This award-winning VR experience (recipient of the 2018 MUSE award from the American Alliance of Museums) transports audiences to the exact spot where the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre events unfolded by superimposing images from then and now in virtual reality. Audiences can use their smartphones and wear Google Cardboard VR Goggles or use the Museum’s latest technology, Oculus Go, on YouTube’s 360 channel to be immersed in the site. It provides eye-opening insights into the infamous Feb. 14, 1929 event, when Chicago police discovered the bodies of seven men, all shot in the back and riddled with bullets in a northside garage.

The Battle for Chicago—Separating Fact from Fiction in the Stories of Al Capone and Eliot Ness
February 14 | 7 p.m. | 2nd floor
Over the decades, the stories of mobster Al Capone and lawmen Eliot Ness have been subjected to literary license and Hollywood exaggeration. “Scarface and the Untouchable,” a new book from authors Max Allan Collins and A. Brad Schwartz, peels back the layers of these myths to reveal a deeper narrative of these iconic figures. A book signing will follow.
All of the above special events are included with Museum admission on February 14. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Courtroom seating maximum occupancy—120 guests.
