Illegal Drugs Return to Times Square
New DEA Museum opens September 14

Illegal drugs from ecstasy to crack are back in Times Square – all safely under glass in what will be the world’s highest profile anti-drug museum at One Times Square called Target America: Drug Traffickers, Terrorists and You.

The 15,000 sq foot, three-story museum opens September 14, 2004, and illustrates the high price Americans pay for drug abuse.

The free exhibit explains how illegal drug users are not the only victims. Displays include an actual drug related car wreck, a jungle cocaine lab, an Afghan heroin “factory,” a re-created methamphetamine hotel cook room, a tenement crack-house room, and interactive kiosks that explain how dealers launder money to profit terrorists.

There is also a display on the link between drugs and terror that includes a memorial containing wreckage and artifacts from the September 11, 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The museum will be open each day from 9 AM until 8 PM, 7 days a week.
