Tour of the International Spy Museum

Today, your guests will embark on a special guided tour of the International Spy Museum. Your mission will begin with an introduction to espionage - a tradecraft that has been used throughout time and around the world. Hear from spies in their own words describe the challenges and the "game" of spying. Exhibits in the museum will include a look at the life of spies and their cover identities, their gadgets, their skills for observation, analysis and surveillance. The Secret History of History traces through the centuries the "second oldest profession" and tells the story of spymasters like Harriet Tubman, George Washington, Elizabeth I and Joseph Stalin. The Spies Among Us focuses on the spy intelligence and code breaking used during World War II - how critical secrets were kept and lost. The War of Spies charters the modern conflict of a divided Berlin as world powers face off with spies as foot soldiers. See the pervasiveness of the Stasi Spies, were husbands even spied on wives! Trace the development of spy technology from spy planes to satellites. 21st Century confronts the contemporary challenges that intelligence faces today, with a stop at the Ops Center to track current events and speak with an intelligence specialist.
