Didja know there’s a place in D.C. where you can interact with white collar cons, gangsters, even serial killers? But enough about the White House. (Hiyo.)

Oh, we kid, presidente — the National Museum Of Crime and Punishment, opening May 23, is 28,000 square-feet of exhibit space devoted to the baddest dudes and dudettes ever to have screwed with Johnny Law, from Bonnie and Clyde and Jesse James, to scumbags du jour like identity thieves and hackers.

More interesting, to Foucault fans, anyway, are the exhibits documenting The State’s institutionalized punishment through time — medieval torture, trial by ordeal, e.g. — always 20 times more brutal than anything any criminal cooked up.

The NMCP also doubles as the studio for America’s Most Wanted year-round, and there’s an entire section devoted to host John Walsh, a man who managed to parlay the murder of his kid into a personal fortune crusade that’s nabbed some 999 criminals since the show’s inception. Come hook yourself up to the museum’s interactive lie detector and see if you can become his 1,000th customer!

Admission is $17.95/adults, $14.95/kids and cops.
