The world of espionage has long fascinated us. The public has a limitless appetite for intriguing tales of spying, as evidenced by the success of the numerous James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Mission Impossible films. Of course, spies are not solely fictional characters inhabiting the imagination of screenwriters and best-selling novelists. Espionage has indeed been conducted across the world, with a long history dating back to ancient times. For those keen to discover more about this covert activity, the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. is the place to visit.
First opened in 2002 and then relocated to another part of the US capital, the International Spy Museum boasts the largest collection of espionage items on public display. Although only about a tenth of the collection is put on exhibit at any one time, the museum has a total of roughly 10,000 artifacts, making it a spy lover’s paradise. One of the most popular museums in Washington, D.C., the facility offers visitors a true adventure with an immersive experience by encouraging them to treat their visit like a mission. Visitors can assume a cover identity and crack codes with interactive devices while they are there.
