International Spy Museum
The International Spy Museum provides a unique glimpse into the innovative world of espionage and its impact throughout history and present day. The first and only museum dedicated solely to intelligence, the museum is home to six permanent exhibits intended to educate the public on the role of espionage in national security. Guests can explore over 200 spy weapons, bugs, cameras and technologies and test their skills at observation and surveillance in the School for Spies exhibit, or learn about deceptions and celebrity spies during World War II and try out their code breaking skills at the Spies Among Us Exhibit. The museum also frequently hosts speakers, programs, workshops and demonstrations for both children and adults.
For large groups, the museum offers exclusive after-hours tours and scavenger hunts. Dining rooms at restaurants Zola and Spy City Café, Loft event rooms and Atlas meeting rooms are available for private events, as is the entire 64,000-square-foot facility.
