Welcome to the International Spy Museum and the world of espionage. What interest brings you here?
Is it a love of spy "who-done-its" from film noir and the movies, or spy page-turners from literature? Perhaps a fascination with history and a desire to learn secrets behind world events? Or an urgency to understand the complexities of our world today and the need for solid intelligence now, more than ever? No matter what motives brought you here…leave your preconceptions behind.
Learn about the authentic tradecraft that has been used throughout time and around the world. Hear spies, in their own words, describe the challenges and the "game" of spying.
A spy must live a life of lies. Adopt a cover identity and learn why an operative needs one. See the credentials an agent must have to get in—or out, as in the case of six Americans exfiltrated from revolutionary Iran in 1979, courtesy of the Canadian Ambassador— and the CIA. Proceed directly to the Briefing Film where you'll come face to face with the real world of spying. Spies are motivated for very different reasons--what might motivate you? Patriotism? Money? A compromising situation? Your own ego?
The National Museum of Crime & Punishment has been decribed by Good Morning America as a "must see for CSI fans." This museum includes a crime lab and the filming studios for America's Most Wanted. A simulated FBI shotting range, high-speed police-chase, and hundreds of interactives and artifacts pertaining to America's favorite subject fill the three floor, 25,000 square foot museum.
