Mob Museum: Breaking Bad Installation

Posted July 4, 2016 at 12:30 p.m.

From themobmuseum.org:

Breaking Bad, which aired on AMC between 2008 and 2013, was critically acclaimed and beloved by cable TV audiences.
It traces Walter White’s arc as a decent, moral guy with an unfulfilled talent who evolves into a cold, vengeful, murderous drug lord nicknamed “Heisenberg.” He develops a special recipe for the highest-purity meth – 96 percent – in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and soon his product is sold throughout the American Southwest and as far away as Europe.
In recognition of Breaking Bad, a modern-day saga of organized crime, The Mob Museum will ... debut a permanent display of a yellow hazmat suit worn by series star Bryan Cranston — in scenes where Walter White was cooking meth — plus a pair of gas masks and a rubber apron used in the show.
