This milestone was celebrated with Henry Hill's hosting a private screening for a select group of invitees at the Museum of the American Gangster. The Museum of the American Gangster is a two-room museum located at 80 St. Mark's Place in New York City. Opened in 2010, it is located upstairs from a former speakeasy in a neighborhood once frequented by Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and John Gotti. Its Exhibition of the American Gangster was "founded to preserve newspapers, photographs and other original documents from the Prohibition Era". The museum's collection of memorabilia of organized crime in America includes John Dillinger's death masks, bullets from theSaint Valentine's Day massacre investigation, and a bullet from the shooting of Pretty Boy Floyd.
