LIVESHOT:

History and Hollywood merge when notorious gangsters of the 1930s take over the Oshkosh Public Museum. A new exhibit called "The Era of Public Enemies" is now open. Revisit the string of Midwest bank robberies that captivated the nation and experience the circumstances that led to the infamous crime wave. Check out a snazzy 1930s nightclub, take a seat in an art deco movie theater and experience life behind bars in a dank 1930 jail cell. Learn of the rise of the FBI and structured law enforcement as the feds attempt to take down American gangsters and the booming crime wave. Finally, relive the transformation of Wisconsin for the 2008 filming of Public Enemies. In this community-curated section, props and images of downtown, actors, extras and set design will recreate the thrill of those few days of Hollywood in Oshkosh. Find out more about the museum at http://www.oshkoshmuseum.org/exhibits/The_Era_of_Public_Enemies.htm
