International Spy Museum

As you enter the spy museum you can select and identity and memorize facts about the person so that throughout the time, you go through check points and see if you pass. It’s a fun and interesting place.  There are real spy artifacts from U.S. and KGB spys.  Guns are camouflaged in umbrellas, flashlights, lipstick tubes and on and on.  It was so interesting I forgot to take any pictures so clipped all of these from the Internet. 

The museum chronicles the history of spying from biblical times to the early 20th century. It explores such phenomena as the institutionalization of spying in the early years of the Soviet Union and traces the rise of espionage technology, such as spy photography. It also examines the role that women have played in espionage and reveals well-known historical figures who were also spymasters, including George Washington and author Daniel Defoe.

There are exhibits, films, and videos examine espionage through World War II, showcasing real-life spy stories such as Julius & Ethel Rosenberg. The lives of more recent double agents such as Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen are covered. An exhibit on celebrity spies details famous figures who had separate careers in espionage unbeknownst to the public, including singer Josephine Baker, chef Julia Child, baseball legend Moe Berg, movie director John Ford, and actress Marlene Dietrich.
