Washington, DC - International Spy Museum

The Spy Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of real (and, on, occasion, TV and movie) espionage and the people involved in it. There are lectures, films, book-signings, and family activities related to espionage featuring people involved in espionage and those who study and write about them. There are hands-on exhibits, all kinds of memorabilia from the Cold War, and a lot of really great gadgets that were used in actual espionage. [Lee Gilliland, 12/26/2005]

[RA: An advisory board of former spooks and historians developed many of the ideas for the museum. Don't miss the KGB lipstick pistol and the CIA cyanide-impregnated suicide eyeglass frames -- the nibble of death.]
